Health centre closures spark rally
Chase residents took to the streets July 14, in an ef-fort to protect the future of the Chase Health Care Cen-tre.
Sick of seeing signs on the door saying that services would be closed for yet an-other stretch of days, Val Donnelly decided to orga-nize a day of protest in hope of getting the attention of government.
Donnelly is a Chase resi-dent with a substantial background in health care, including a career as a para-medic and an emergency medical dispatcher. She was responsible for the start-up of the first responders in the North Shuswap, and helped out with the South Shuswap as well. Donnelly also ran for council in the last elec-tion, taking on the health-care platform.
Tuesday’s event was a success in Donnelly’s eyes, with 18 people showing up in the morning and many more dropping by through-out the day.
“It is a weekday; I under-stand many people have to work,” she said.
Donnelly says she re-ceived plenty of feedback from Chase residents throughout the day though.
“The most common con-cern is that they are worried about having no doctors,” she says.
At about 3 p.m. the group of protestors positioned themselves in front of the village office in order to meet the mayor and council as they were heading in for the 4 p.m. council meeting.
Most of the councillors made a quick comment as they entered the building, but neither in favour nor support of the protest.
Mayor Ron Anderson was the only one to ap-proach the group, having a quick word before making his way into the building.
“He asked us what we expected them to do about it and what it was that we thought they did in there,” said Donnelly, clearly un-impressed with his re-sponse.
Coun. Rod Crowe said that even he doesn’t have a doctor in Chase, that he travels to Port Coquitlam to see his doctor.
Ironically, the Chase Health Care Centre was closed during the protest, once again due to a lack of doctors, which Donnelly says is the top health-care concern for the area.

TRANSMISSION FLUID EXCHANGE SERVICE: YES IT’S A REAL SERVICE
Part 1 of a 2 part series
You just took your car in for its regular transmission service. You have the transmission serviced about every two years,
because you’d like to avoid having to spend money on a rebuild. The service writer asks, “Would you like a complete fl uid ex-change service at the same time?” You smile. You know that’s a scam. If it weren’t, it’d be recommended in your owners manual. They’re just looking for a way to charge you more money, right?
Not even close. A transmission fl uid exchange is more than just a real service: It’s a worthwhile addition to your regular mainte-nance routine. Here’s why: During the more familiar transmission service, the technician removes the pan and replaces the fi lter. Then he reinstalls the pan and refi lls the transmission.
That type of service is valuable and worthwhile, but it only re-places part of the transmission fl uid. In some cases, less than half of the fl uid is replaced. The rest of the old, worn out fl uid remains in the transmission. That’s important, because transmis-sion fl uid does more than just lubricate the transmission parts. It also cools the transmission, and even provides the connection between the engine and the wheels.
When automatic transmission fl uid is squeezed between the clutch plates in the transmission, the fl uid takes on a new char-acteristic. It acts like little “Velcro” hooks, to help the clutches grab onto one another. That holding characteristic is critical for the transmission to operate properly.
says, “but when it comes to recruiting, it falls to the community and how they can pres-ent it.”
Donnelly, however, says recruiting is not the issue in Chase, it is getting the doctors to stay in the area. She says she would like to focus on the issues that are holding Chase back, identify the problems and find a solution to fix them.
“Why aren’t doctors staying in Chase? There are other rural commu-nities around here who have less to offer and
they do not have the issues that Chase has been having.”
Donnelly explained how when the Chase Primary Health Care Project was sold to the village, residents were promised a great num-ber of services in re-turn, including diabetic clinics, dietary clinics and counselling among others. Since then, Donnelly says, these services have been cut dramatically.
“If it is this that is holding our doctors back the solution is simple: get rid of the Primary Health Care Project,” she said.
Redford does not be-
lieve services in Chase have been officially cut – there is simply no one there to provide them.
Donnelly says she is worried that IH will try to phase out the Chase Health Care Centre , which she says would be devastating to the community.
As for the day of protest, Donnelly hopes it attracted the attention of some government officials.
“Government has the power to offer the in-centives that are need-ed; local government has the power to go to higher levels of gov-ernment to get the help
we need.”Redford however,
says Chase already of-fers a number of incen-tives.
“We have a contract with the physicians in Chase. We actually provide the clinic staff-ing, which makes it very easy for them to come into the commu-nity,” he explains.
Redford also stresses that when emergency is closed, it doesn’t mean patients can’t access emergency services. He says the ambulance service is available to transport patients to hospital in Salmon Arm or Kamloops.
But Donnelly does
not believe that send-ing residents to other areas is the proper so-lution.
“We shouldn’t be sending the message that it isn’t a big deal to head to another city for proper health care,” says Donnelly. “Many Chase residents do not own cars, or are elder-ly.
“The drive to Kam-loops may seem short when you are leisurely making your way home from work, but it seems like forever when you are staring into the face of a loved one whose life depends on immediate emer-gency care.”

An adult man and a 16-year-old girl were arrested Tuesday, Aug. 14 for trafficking in crack cocaine.
Police were investi-gating some Salmon Arm residents for drug dealing, and arranged to meet the suspects in the soccer fields beside
Centenoka Park Mall. When the suspects
arrived they were ar-rested and RCMP seized a large amount of crack cocaine, mon-ey and cell phones from each person.
The man was recent-ly released from prison, while the girl was
found to be carrying drugs for the man. She has been released into the care of the Ministry of Children and Fami-lies.
Names of the ac-cused are being with-held until formal charg-es are approved by Crown counsel.

Fresh from the UK
leg of his Footprints
Tour to raise money for
Footprints Orphanage
in Kenya, acclaimed
s inger-songwri te r ,
Chris Ronald, will be
playing a number of
intimate shows in and
around the Okanagan
area between Aug. 19
and 26.
Born in England,
Ronald now lives in
Vancouver with his
wife and three young
children.
His latest CD, Turn-ing Tides, was released
last year to rave re-
views, citing his “obvi-
ous talent, great songs,
and glorious voice.”
He has been likened
to artists such as Jack-
son Browne and Kenny
Rankin. Tracks from
the album have also
been aired nationwide
on CBC Radio.
Many songs, both
on and off the Turn-ing Tides album, are
inspired by Ronald’s
experiences in and the
beauty of British Co-
lumbia, and audiences
enjoy hearing the sto-
ries behind the songs
during his live shows.
Since the album’s
release and the many
shows that have fol-
lowed, Ronald’s music
career has taken off to
the extent that he’s now
in the process of transi-
tioning from his day
job as an elementary
school teacher to pur-
suing music full-time.
The singer, guitarist,
harmonica player, and
poet writes and sings
from the heart.
He performs with

Singing from the heart
Their interest in mov-
ies was sparked in the
Salmar Classic Theatre
and now two Salmon
Arm Secondary grads
are bringing their own
fi lms to the theatre Sat-
urday, Aug. 25.
“It will be a pretty
surreal experience for
me because I spent my
childhood and teen
years watching mov-
ies in the Classic,” says
Jim Cliffe, whose fi rst
fi lm opened the 2011
Calgary Film Festival.
“It defi nitely fuelled my
passion for cinema and
wanting to break into
the industry.”
Since then Dono-van’s Echo, starring
Danny Glover and
Bruce Greenwood, had
a six-city theatrical re-
lease in Canada and
was screened in U.S. as
well.
Gearing up for DVD
and pay-per-view re-
leases in September,
Cliffe says he wanted
to show the fi lm in his
hometown fi rst.
“It’s defi nitely start-
ing to open a few doors,”
says Cliffe, who wrote
the script with wife and
partner Melodie Krieg-
er and directed the fi lm
himself.
Cliffe’s friend Kirk
Caouette, also now a
fi lmmaker, recalls The Shaggy D.A., as the fi rst
movie he saw in the
Classic Theatre.
Caouette’s award-
winning fi lm Hit ’n Strum will also reel out
Aug. 25.
A stuntman special-
izing in acrobatics and
martial arts in comic
book movies like X- Men, Catwoman and
Electra, Caouette says
15 years of stunt work
were fun but he wanted
to do something more
with his brain than “get-
ting hit by trucks and
stuff.”
It took him about one
year to write the screen-
play and music for Hit ‘n Strum, a fi lm about
a relationship between
a homeless man and a
corporate lawyer.
Caouette is also the
lead actor in the fi lm
that won three awards
at this year’s Canadian
Film Festival – best ac-
tor, best cinematogra-
phy and the William F.
White Reel Canadian
Indie Award.
“It got a standing
ovation; that was the
best moment of the en-
tire process, for sure,”
he says. “That’s when
I knew we’ve made
something that is really
affecting people, it’s re-
ally crowd-pleasing.”
Hit ’n Strum will
reel out at 2 p.m. and
Donovan’s Echo will be
shown at 5. Tickets will
be available at the door.

There was a time when I went fishing, in part, to get away from having to take pictures with my full-sized, motorized, heavy-duty pro-fessional camera with its massive telephoto lens. How-ever, nowadays I find that I quite enjoy taking my new little Nikon Coolpix P7200 digital camera along with me pretty well everywhere I go. Today’s small point-and-shoot cameras, with their image-stabilized lenses, are amazing.
Having said that, there is still nothing like a good steady tripod to aid in getting crisp, sharp images. This is something I’ve learned the hard way – on more than one occasion – when I was too lazy to pack along my rela-tively large, heavy metal Manfrotto tripod. That was also in the days before I had acquired my four-section, carbon-fibre tripod that weighs next to nothing (by comparison) and breaks down to a more packable size.
When it comes to tripods (and/or monopods for that matter), lighter and smaller does not necessarily mean
better. A flimsy tripod does little to prevent camera shake. The more stable the tripod, the more stable the image. It’s that simple. I can spot an image that was taken using a tripod a mile away. Espe-cially photos that were taken under lower light conditions.
You can determine for yourself what will work best as far as weight, size and stability. The trick is to have a tripod that is portable enough, yet sturdy enough to keep your camera steady.
Another piece of photo gear that comes in handy when heading out into the great outdoors is a well-made, comfortable and easy to carry backpack. Whether going on a short hike or far afield, a well-designed photo backpack allows you to carry
your gear more comfortably for greater distances. Always remember though, that what-ever distance you walk one way, you have to walk back when everything in your pack seems all that much heavier and more cumber-some.
There are a number of good quality packs out there that will help you organize, protect and carry your gear.
I have two different photo backpacks, both made by Lowe. One I use constantly. The other is more of a put- everything-into-it-until-I-get-there type of pack I use more as a travel case for all my gear. It is not the kind of pack I would want to carry around on my back for any amount of time or distance, but it is well-made and has lots of protection for cameras and lenses. It also has built-in wheels that makes it great for packing and transporting a lot of gear.
The little slingshot back-pack that I have with me constantly is indispensable. I can carry my point-and-shoot digital camera, an external flash, all sorts of extra batter-ies and cards, a small pair of
binoculars and some folded- up aluminum foil that I use for bounce lighting, as well as, my lunch and whatever murder mystery pocketbook I happen to be reading. I can strap my carbon-fibre tripod to the bottom of the pack and I’m good for the day.
While I never used to think there was a place for artificial light in nature photography, I have come to change my mind to some degree, in spite of the fact that it is one more thing to carry.
Flash allows you to fill in shadows and even out the lighting ratio between the shadow and brightly illumi-nated highlights. I also carry a couple of feet of aluminum foil in my pack, which I can unfold and use to bounce sunlight back onto my sub-ject when doing close-up na-ture photography.
The whole thing about de-ciding what to take (and what not to take) on any photo-graphic field trip is determin-ing what you absolutely need – because you will definitely use it – and not what you’ll just end up carting along for nothing.
Sometimes, it seems that bronze is worth as much as gold.
Such is certainly the case for Canada’s Olympic Women’s Soccer team, whose inspi-rational win came, not in the hoped-for gold medal game, but in the final bronze round — A bronze medal that is Canada’s first Summer Games medal in a traditional team sport since the 1936 Berlin Games, when the men’s bas-ketball team won silver.
These women sum up all that is best about athletic competition: spirit.
This team refused to give up, not after a humiliating last place finish at the World Cup last year, and not after a heartbreaking 4-3 loss in extra time against the U.S. in the semifinals.The team was clearly crushed after the loss, but by Friday had put that aside as they headed into a game against the highly-favoured French team. Again, another gruelling game, but the squad hung on for a scoreless 90 minutes.
Then, two minutes into extra time Diana Matheson drove in the winning goal, and put their team into the record books and Canadian soccer on the international map.
But the goal did more than that. In Canada, where sports revolve around hockey, many are surprised to find that more people play soccer than the national sport. And it is for the upcoming players that the women’s soccer bronze medal win may have its most lasting effect.
All those young players have not only an example of where the sport might take them, to the very highest levels of competition, but an example of competitive spirit to show them that it is possible to make a dream reality.

Admission is FREE! (but donations for the local food bank are encouraged)
Time to rock Roots & BluesNo more sleeps!
It’s time. The gates to the 20th
annual Roots and Blues festival
open at 4 p.m.
“With a huge roster of Ca-
nadian and indie talent, there
is something for everyone this
year,” says marketing manager
Scott Crocker. “Community
celebrating a world of music to-
gether.”
That’s more than 40 acts on
six stages, 29 concessions in the
Global Food Village – a culinary
collision of Western cuisine and
ethnic delights, a 37-booth Arti-
san Market and a merchandise
tent with festival gear and CDs.
There’s also a great opportu-
nity to kick back and enjoy the
talent from our own backyard.
“This is a board member ini-
tiative bringing music and dance
from the local area to celebrate
the 20th anniversary,” says
Salmon Arm Folk Music Soci-
ety board member Ted Crouch.
“This is not a paid gig and the
lineup is representative of the 20
years of the festival.”
The Our Backyard lineup in-
cludes:
Saturday, Aug. 18: 12:25
p.m. – Shuffl e Demons; 1 p.m.
– Salmon Armenians; 1:30 p.m.
– Alan Bates and Sue Kyle; 3:30

p.m. – Dominique Fraissard.
Located next to the folk soci-
ety offi ce, to the right of the main
gate, Our Backyard consists of
two stages – one for music and
one for dance.
This allows spectators to sim-
ply turn their chairs around to
catch the action on either stage.
What to takeDaytime temperatures are ex-
pected to soar and while water is
readily available on-site – along
with other beverages – seasoned
festivalgoers carry sunglasses,
sunscreen, a hat and even and
umbrella.
When the sun sinks behind the
mountain, the temperature often
drops quickly too. So, socks, a
sweater, long pants and a blanket
are favoured by many.
Other items to remember are a
low-back chair or tarp, camera,
binoculars and, of course, some
bucks to buy food and festival
music and souvenirs.
There is a fi rst aid station on-
site and people with mobility is-
sues can get assistance by advis-
ing security volunteers identifi ed
by their red shirts.
“There are lots of tickets
still available at the gate,” says
Crocker of the three-day festival
that opens today, Aug. 17. “The
sun will be shining, people will
be smiling – it’s going to be one
helluva party.”
Gates open at 9:30 a.m. Satur-
day and Sunday.

Rabid bat scratches manA Sunnybrae resident
is undergoing treatment after an encounter with a rabid bat two weeks ago.
Ray Alleyn was clear-ing away sandbags on his lakeshore property, when he was scratched by the bat.
“I heard him yelp and the bat landed on the step to the dock,” said wife Doreen, who had seen a bat fl ying around in the daylight a few days earlier. “I thought, ‘I don’t like that this happened,’ and I went and got a yogurt con-tainer.”
Back on the shore-line, an anxious Doreen says she was very wor-ried the bat was no lon-ger there.
“I was stressed out, but I calmed down and saw it fl oating in the water,” she says. “I scooped it up with the container.”
Ray called the BC Nurseline where he was told to wash the area with soap and water and call the local public health offi ce in order to get the bat tested.
Doreen, who used to work in a public health offi ce, was somewhat surprised when the re-quest for testing was ini-tially “pooh-poohed.”
“It’s a good thing he followed up and pressed them,” says Doreen, who noted her husband followed through, “be-cause he knows his wife is a worry wart.”
She says Ray was told public health staff don’t want to be fear-mon-gering and that there is only a small chance of the bat actually being rabid.
“The actual time be-tween infection and when you get sick (called the “incubation period”) ranges from
10 days to seven years,” notes the PubMed Health website. “The average incubation pe-riod is three to seven weeks. Once the symp-toms appear, the person rarely survives the dis-ease, even with treat-ment.”
“I would have slept with one eye open all that time, wondering if something was gonna happen,” says Doreen.
Whether he was af-fected, the Alleyns will never know because Ray opted for preven-tative treatment before the test results were re-turned.
When the bat tested positive for rabies, he was called to the health unit where he received four injections in one day, with shots sched-uled for three consecu-tive weeks.
Jennifer Jeyes, com-municable disease specialist with Interior Health, says the health region takes it very se-riously when people come in contact with bats.
In 2011, IH inves-tigated 12 bat/people contacts in the Thomp-son-Cariboo-Shuswap. Only two were brought in for testing and both came back negative, says Jeyes.
“Overall, in the prov-ince there are a few that do test positive,” she says, noting that in 2011 only seven bats tested positive for rabies in the entire province. “It’s not a high number, but the reason we take it so seriously is bats are the one species that do routinely carry rabies – just at a low level.”
“We recommend rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (treatment)with a series of injec-tions that give both im-mediate and long-term protection against the rabies virus.”
Anyone who has handled a bat should call their doctor or the health unit right away.
“The take-home mes-sage is avoid touching the bat, but if you do, call public health,” Jeyes says, recommending people wear heavy rub-ber gloves and a pair of tongs to pick up the bat.
And while she agrees, animals are also at risk,
bats fl ourish throughout B.C. and are an impor-tant and protected spe-cies.
Foxes and skunks have also been identi-fi ed as rabies carriers.
The PubMed web-site advises people stay away from animals they are not familiar with and to ensure their dogs and cats are properly immunized.
# A Sunnybrae man must undergo a series of shots to prevent a possible rabies infection after he was scratched by a bat like the one shown. Testing revealed the bat was infected with the disease.

JAMES MURRAY/MARKET NEWS
Police are alerting residents and business-es in the Okanagan and Thompson Valley to a wave of fake currency passing through the re-gion.
On Aug. 8, three counterfeit $100 bills were passed to Salmon Arm businesses. These bills appear to be the same as those passed in other Okanagan com-munities.
The bill can be iden-tifi ed as fraudulent by noting the silver band across the bill which contains embossed “$5” repeated on this refl ec-tive strip.
Video surveillance has been obtained of the male who passed these bills and Salmon Arm police continue to in-vestigate the matter.
“The typical modus operandi is for the pass-er to make an inexpen-sive purchase and pay with a large denomina-tion, in turn receiving a large percentage of change back in authen-tic currency, leaving the bogus bill in the till,” said RCMP spokesman Cpl. Dan Moskaluk.
The RCMP has re-ceived 23 complaints about the passing or attempted passing of counterfeit bills in the past two weeks.
The incidents in-volved bank notes in $20, $50 and $100 de-nominations and oc-curred in Salmon Arm, West Kelowna, Pentic-ton, Kamloops, Oka-nagan Falls and other communities.
Moskaluk said gro-cery stores, convenience stores and bars are par-ticularly vulnerable to
bogus bank note scams.“Customarily, what
we do see at times is that drinking establishments might be victimized be-cause there’s lower light and a higher volume of clientele, so there’s a lower chance of being detected,” he said.
The fake currency is often traffi cked on the black market like drugs, he added, with a central manufacturer selling to wholesalers who unload the product to street-lev-el dealers and users.
“Normally we’ll see an individual or a group of individuals pass fake notes in a region for a period of time until pub-lic awareness becomes an issue for them, or our investigations are suc-cessful. It’s very similar to when we see travel-ling shoplifters going from town to town,” he said.

2nd Annual
Fifty years ago, Shuswap’s largest pro-tected area, Monashee Provincial Park, was established thanks to the efforts of a number of local conservation-ists. Nearly 200 people celebrated the park’s anniversary on June 1 at the Cherryville Hall, with an open house and exhibits followed by speakers, including BC Parks staff and local MLA Eric Foster, and a giant birthday cake. The Cherryville His-torical Society, who sold commemorative posters to raise funds to promote a proposed ex-pansion of the park, sponsored the event.
One of the highlights of the event was also a historical 70-minute film, Call of the Mo-nahsees, about a pack trip into the area pro-duced by local histori-an, Ernie Lavolette in the early 1960s. The film was recently con-verted to a DVD, thanks to funding from an Al-bertan scientist, Claude Labine, who has a sum-mer home in Cher-
ryville. Copies of the DVD are available for purchase in Cherryville and proceeds will assist the newly formed group, Friends of Mo-nashee Park.
Although the park’s birthday party was a popular event, this an-niversary year has been bittersweet because ac-cess to the park was cut off on June 23 due to a massive flood that washed out the only road into the area.
It was the same heavy rain-on-snow event that flooded Sicamous and Hummingbird creeks. Star Creek flows out of the hills below Tsuius Mountain to the west of the park and when the heavy rain hit, the creek burst its banks and flooded both the Sugar Lake Road and the road into the park.
The main road was quickly repaired, but the damage to the road into the park was more severe. The provincial government is now working with the local logging company, Tolko, to rebuild the road and the goal is to have it repaired before the end of August. However, more work is needed to ensure the creek remains within its banks the next time there is heavy precipi-tation. The Star Creek watershed has been heavily logged in the past, and these clearcuts increase the flow of
water during spring run-off. Another prob-lem is that the creek’s fan is unstable due to a forest fire in the 1950s and will continue to be unstable until the trees grow to maturity.
Monashee Park has a rich history, as the al-pine area has been a popular destination for hiking since the early 1900s, when Bill Fraser and an unidentified companion walked across Canada and spent the winter in a hastily built log cabin at Margie Lake.
That spring he jour-neyed on to the coast but then returned to settle at Sugar Lake where he built a three-story cedar log lodge on a rise overlooking the lake. This was a popular pristine fishing lake where a number of prominent Vernon resi-dents had established summer homes.
Fraser soon added a number of cabins and his lodge became im-portant for providing pack-horse services for forest fire lookout sta-tions and outdoor en-thusiasts hiking into the alpine country and ma-jestic mountains of the Peters Lake area, named after a lodge guest from England. Peters Lake is far above the scenic Rainbow Falls which blocks fish
passage. In 1940, the Summerland Trout Hatchery delivered 8,000 fingerlings to the Fraser Lodge and the next morning Andrew Hankey delivered the fish to the lake with packhorses in record time to ensure their sur-vival.
The exceptional rec-reational values of Sug-ar Lake abruptly ended in 1942 when a storage dam was built at Bren-da Falls that raised the level of the lake by sev-en metres. Since Fraser Lodge was built on high ground it contin-ued to provide an ac-cess point for visitors into the Peters Lake area, including those who used floatplanes in the 1950s.
When the bridge was built spanning the up-per Shuswap River, it opened the area to log-ging and provided im-proved access for al-pine hiking and fish-ing.
Eventually the area
became so popular, Bill Fraser and a number of other conservationists began lobbying the government to turn the area into a park.
Scottish surveyor Donald McIntyre has long been credited for naming the mountains the Monashees in 1881, which has always been translated from the Gaelic as “Mountains of Peace.”
However, local histo-rian and writer Don Elzer has a new theory, since mountain in Gaelic is sliabh, pro-nounced shleeve and peace in sith.
Elzer believes that Monashee more accu-rately describes the mythical fairy inhabit-ants of the island of Mona and this theory corresponds to a move-ment in the late 1800s to restore the old Gaelic culture.

The love and com-panionship of a cat is priceless, but from Thursday, Aug. 23 to Saturday, Aug. 25, adopters can choose an adult cat from any BC SPCA location – and name their own adop-tion fee.
“The BC SPCA takes in more than 17,000 homeless cats and kit-tens each year and sum-mer is the peak season
where our shelters are filled to capacity,” says Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. “Summer is es-pecially hard on adult cats because with so many kittens in the shel-ters people sometimes overlook the wonderful adult cats who have so much to offer.”
Chortyk adds, “Our cats are a great value
any time of the year, but during the Pick your Purr-fect Price promo-tion, the animals will be even more accessible to adopters.”
For more details on the Pick your Purr-fect Price event, visit spca.bc.ca to view all adopt-able animals at SPCA locations across B.C. The Shuswap SPCA is located at 5850 Auto Road.

# Mickey Sims poses at the Salmon Arm Wharf with his most recent Se-nior Masters Middleweight World Championship belt.
Sims repeats as boxing champion
A Salmon Arm resi-
dent returns home a
world champion for the
second year in a row.
Whether it is his de-
termination, skill, or
pure luck, Mickey Sims
certainly has what it
takes to make it in the
tough world of the box-
ing ring.
Sims headed back to
familiar rings in Kan-
sas City, Missouri,
Aug. 2 to compete in
the World Champion
Boxing Tournament – a
competition Sims de-
scribes as the largest
amateur boxing com-
petition in the world.
“The Olympic fight-
ers are normally in at-
tendance as well,” says
Sims, however, none
were in present this
year due to the London
Summer Olympics.
The Salmon Arm
fighter has trained for
months through exten-
sive routines, sparring
with other masters in
the area, and sticking to
a strict dietary regimen
to prepare for the Se-
nior Masters Middle-
weight World Champi-
onship.
Just days before
heading into the com-
petition Sims had said
he felt he was in better
shape than he was the
year before and was
hoping to prove him-
self right in Kansas
City.
There were only four
competitors in Sims’

CHASE
Getting thrown or
falling off a horse is
all part of learning to
ride well.
Twelve-year-old
Emily Francois had
been thrown just a few
days prior, and there
she was up on the back
of Sugar, with more
knowledge about her-
self and her steed.
On the morning
of Tuesday, Aug.
14, trucks and trail-
ers began to arrive at
Lorne Sampson’s ro-
deo grounds in Chase,
in preparation for the
Unity Ride. The four-
day trip would cover
100 kilometres in to-
tal, stopping at three
camps on the way
overnight, eventually
arriving at Simpcw
Secwepemc Gathering
near Barriere on Fri-
day, Aug. 17.
In March 2009, Kuk-
pi7 Wayne Christian
of Splats’in was one of
17 Secwepemc band
chiefs who formed the
Chiefs Working Group
and signed a protocol
agreement establish-
ing an over-arching
commitment to work
together and develop a
nation-based approach
to Secwepemc child
welfare.
From that, came the
plan for a unity ride to
provide the opportu-
nity for elders to share
traditional knowledge
with youth, as they
rode along the trail.
Excitement grew as
horses came out of the
trailers saddled up, rid-
ers mounted. Seasoned
cowboys showed fall-
ing off a horse is al-
ways a possibility.
One learns to stay on
a horse, but also how
to fall with minimal
injury.
Spirited horses car-
ried their riders around
the rodeo grounds,
getting used to the
other animals and peo-
ple they’d never met
before. Veteran bull
rider Lorne Sampson

REID, TORYA beautiful life-1925-2012
Born to parents Rod and Ethel Gollan, Tory was one of twelve children, raised on a farm in Alliance, Alberta. After fi nishing school Tory joined the Royal Canadian Air Force and instructed aerobics for servicemen during the second world war. At the young age of 13 she fell in love with Ken, the man she would marry, while watching him play baseball. Ken and Tory married in Edmonton in 1946 and very soon began a family. Ken supported his family with his own construction company while Tory devoted her time to raising their four children. After a few holidays in beautiful B.C. they decided to move there. They shared a passion for golf and purchased the Salmon Arm Golf Course in 1963. Together they ran the clubhouse and all the golf events while at the same time rebuilt the golf course, changing the sand greens to grass, building an irrigation pond and system and raising their children including them in all endeavors. They sold the golf course in 1968 but continued to be avid golfers playing together until 2010. Tory won the womens club championship 13 times, her last win at age 72. The most important part of her life was her family. She was a devoted wife and mother and will always be adored by her children for her beautiful strength of character, a wonderful mixture of strong morals, intelligence, great sense of humor and steadfast loving kindness.
Thank you to all of our friends and extended family for your warm thoughts and prayers. Thank you to Bertha and Kim and the wonderful staff at Lakeside Manor for your kindness and friendship while Mom and Dad lived there.

LASOTA, DAMON STEPHEN-JOEDamon Stephen-Joe LaSota was suddenly taken
from us on July 21st, 2012 at the young age of 24 years old. He leaves behind many people who loved him and in particular his sister Carly Stephens, his mumzie Laurie LaSota and his uncle Greg LaSota.
Damon was born in Prince Rupert BC at 2:00 a.m. on September 21st, 1987. He entered this world a kickin’ and a screamin’ and brought tremendous joy to all that met him. He especially loved his uncle Greg (LaSota) who taught him many things and looked out for him throughout his childhood. Damon quickly grew into a strong, sensitive little daredevil who wanted to experience everything; swimming, biking, taekwondo, camping, fi shing and jumping off of almost anything. He particularly loved biking. He started with BMX racing during his childhood in Kamloops and quickly moved on to mountain biking, in particular, downhillstyle, complete with speed and agility; the faster the better for Damon.
His family moved from Kamloops to Eagle Bay BC where he built treeforts and spent tons of time on Shuswap Lake. Hours of Damon’s life werespent swimming, diving and exploring at Shannon Beach with friends andfamily. Damon eventually received a trampoline and perfected a homemade“trampoline bike”. He and his sister spent days jumping, climbing, twistingand shouting on that trampoline mastering almost every bike trick in the book.The outdoors was Damon’s haven. He loved to explore the forest and maketrails and secret hideouts for days on end…it seemed the tranquil wildernesscalmed him, but Damon would never sit for too long.
He struggled in school but was very smart…always reading either a StephenKing book or some explanation as to how the Titanic was built. Damon hadbigger plans than school, he quickly realized how to make money and workedlong days at Demille’s Farm Market. You may remember him as the “CornBoy” in the famous corn cob costume…promoting sales. Once he receivedhis fi rst paycheque he was off. He worked tirelessly beside his Grama UrsulaLaSota and Grampa John DeMarni. Damon and his Grama had a specialbond…they often spent time together just talking about their days or justbeing quiet together…there was no judgment by either one.
During his high school days, Damon saw the work experience program atSalmon Arm Senior Secondary as his “OUT” of the school system. He wasplaced with a great contracting company in Salmon Arm, who took Damonunder their wing and began to teach him the ropes… Damon never lookedback. Earning money and being independent was addicting to him. Into theworkforce he went, working tirelessly and spending tirelessly.
Damon worked in Salmon Arm for a few years, but was always restless asif he were meant for bigger adventures. He moved on to Revelstoke to buildthe new ski hill, moved again on to Calgary to try out the big city which heloved, and again moving up to Grande Prairie in search of big money buteventually returned to his home and family in Salmon Arm. He had a greatnumber of friends and made an impact on all of them. He was known as“the protector” within his close knit group. He valued his friends sometimesmore than himself as they accepted him with no restrictions. Anyone whoknew Damon came to understand his crazy ways but also knew he “had yourback”.
When Damon was around, everyone would be doubled over with laughter,he had a crazy, “way out there” humor that would light up the room. We oftensaid he should have been a comedian. He knew how to diffuse a situation orhow to bring a friend up from deep despair. He had the gift of true friendshipand acceptance. Damon struggled with his own life and demons but neverlet that get in the way of taking care of someone else.
His life was quickly changing with the arrival of his fi rst child due in lateNovember of 2012 when he was taken from us, but he will be watching overthat child from somewhere else forever. We will never know what troubledDamon but do know from now on he will truly be at peace and at rest in hismind, jumping his BMX, diving in the water and catching those big ol’ fi sh inWhite Lake. We will miss Damon greatly but never forget his crazy ways andhis awesome laugh. Every time the thunder roars and lightening strikes…remember Damon as noisy as ever, laughing, jumping, screaming, howlingand still making us all smile as only Damon could!!
A Celebration of Life for Damon will be held at Canoe Hall, Canoe, BCon Saturday, August 18th, from 1 – 5 p.m. This is a casual, drop in type ofgathering; anyone who knew Damon or would like to share their experiencesmay attend… the more the merrier. We would like to send him off with lots oflove and laughter.
In lieu of fl owers, memorial donation’s to the Salmon Arm Skate Park, c/o444 Trans Canada Hwy, Salmon Arm, V1E 1S9.

I am just under 2 years old, spayed, vaccinated, and have a bit of ‘quirky’ personality - I love being petted and would love to sleep with you, just don’t really like my tail area touched as I have been previously mistreated. Once I trust you, you will have a forever friend! I am not crazy about dogs, but could tolerate one or two other cats. I hope you call for me soon!
