Bennett told the News that the $50,000 is spe-
cifically for a pilot proj-
ect that will “test the
technology the District
of Sicamous is propos-
ing to use for the drink-
ing water treatment
project that will come
next,” a treatment facil-
ity expected to cost $4.5
million.
“It is preliminary but
our staff has worked
with the district staff
and we think it’s pretty
close, a pretty reliable
number, so we’re cur-
rently looking for the
$4.5 million to do it,”
said Bennett. “I don’t
know where we’re go-
ing to get all the money
from yet, but it’s my top
priority in the province
and I need to find a way
to make it happen. I just
don’t know where all
the money is going to
come from yet.”
Explaining what the
pilot project will in-
volve, District of Si-
camous works services
manager Grady Mac-
Donald said a unit con-
taining water filtration
membranes, such as
those that would be
used in the proposed
treatment facility, would
be plugged into the ex-
isting water system.
“We will run our raw
water through it for a
minimum of three
months,” says MacDon-
ald. “That will give us
enough information that
we can decide what
we’re going to do.
There’s at least half a
dozen different types of
suppliers of this type of
technology out there
now. We all share the
same information that
we get from the tests.”
MacDonald said he is
confident in the type of
filtration being used,
but adds testing is still
required.
“I’m not going to say
it’s mandatory, but it’s
highly recommended. I
don’t know of too many
municipalities that have
proceeded with a filtra-
tion plant and not done
a pilot test,” MacDon-
ald explained.
Trouton says he’s not
surprised with the prov-
ince coming through so
soon after the Septem-
ber UBCM convention,
where council – accom-
panied by Shuswap
MLA George Abbott –
met with Bennett to talk
about the district’s need
for a solution regarding
water treatment. The
mayor was surprised,
however, that Bennett
himself made the trip to
Sicamous. He said it
gave the minister an op-
portunity to see first-
hand the issues the dis-
trict is dealing with.
This included the silt-
ing in the channel, and
Trouton expects the for-
mal process to have it
dredged will also move
forward.
Asked about Ben-
nett’s pledge to find the
$4.5 million, Trouton
says he’s confident the
province will come to
the table on this too.
“And that the pre-
mier, Christy Clark
made the announce-
ment – once they make
these big announce-
ments like this, it’s pret-
ty hard for them not to
come forward with it,”
said Trouton.

Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors are telling Ot-tawa to leave well enough alone.
The board added its voice to the chorus of concern over pro-posed federal electoral boundary changes.
Directors reviewed a Sept. 26 letter from the City of Armstrong to the Federal Electoral Bound-aries Commission for British Columbia protesting the removal of Falkland from the North-Oka-nagan Shuswap riding.
Area D Falkland-Silver Creek-Ranchero director René Talbot said not only would the change mean Falkland residents, who
are closely tied to Vernon, would have to go to Kelowna to see their MP, but would split his elec-toral area.
Talbot said the change would make it impossible for people to see their MP and asked the board to support a strongly worded letter protesting the changes.
“This makes no sense, all these realignments,” Talbot said, frus-tration evident. “They want to install 30 new MPs. How much is that going to cost? Economic times are pretty tough all over the world right now and I don’t
know why they (MPs) can’t look after 110,000 peo-ple.”
Newly elected Area C South Shus-wap director Paul Demenok seconded Talbot’s motion, pointing out pro-posed boundary changes would also
effectively cut Sorrento in half.But Demenok noted the board
meeting was his first since his September byelection win and he would be investigating the boundary issue further.
Directors agreed unanimously to tell the commission to leave the boundaries where they are.

In the summer of 1988,
Chris Czajkowski walked
into the wilderness of Brit-
ish Columbia’s Central
Coast Mountains to build a
homestead ... and a life.
For close to 30 years,
Czajkowski lived at Nuk
Tessli (which means ‘west
wind’ in the Carrier lan-
guage) were she operated a
small eco-tourism business
and, inspired by the land-
scape that surrounded her,
wrote nine books.
Her most recent book
Ginty’s Ghost: A Wilder-ness Dweller’s Dream (Har-
bour Publishing) chronicles
the many challenges of
building and settling into a
new home, located on Ginty
Creek.
“Ginty’s Ghost is a de-
parture from my other
books,” says Czajkowski.
“Instead of being about Nuk
Tessli, it is about my new
home at Ginty Creek.
“Only two people lived
there before me, Ginty Paul
and her father. Ginty was
a renowned eccentric. The
book is partly about my
efforts to establish myself
on her (long abandoned)
property, and partly about
Ginty herself told in letters
she wrote and stories from
people who knew her.”
Accounts of Ginty Paul
vary. Some locals remem-
ber her affectionately as “a
cheerful woman, always
laughing” while others
thought her open-door poli-
cy towards her animals a bit
odd – chickens would sleep
with her, and the bedroom
doubled as a maternity ward
for dogs, cats, goats and
sheep.
Still others feared her
volatile temper and outright
refused to step inside her
house – for fear of being
served “chicken poop tea.”
“She was a peculiar char-
acter,” writes Czajkowski.
“She allowed goats in her
house and kept a jar of pick-
led mice on the shelf. She
was just as likely to offer
tips on English etiquette as
she was to lambaste politi-
cians.”
In 2006, after nearly
three decades of wilderness
dwelling, far from neigh-
bours and roads, with the
nearest community acces-
sible only via float plane or
days of hiking, Czajkowski
writes how she decided to
purchase “a derelict home-
stead an hour’s drive south
of Anahim Lake.
Although the property
was mostly swamp and
packrat-infested buildings,
the asking price was within
my budget … and the loca-
tion affords beautiful views
and abundant wildlife.”
Each chapter intersperses
Czajkowski’s own experi-
ences building a new cabin
on the site, despite the fact
that she has a broken leg,
with those of Ginty Paul.
At times there are certain
similarities.
“Keeping my fingers
crossed, I cut a hole for
the window overlooking the
river. I have always had
the feeling, when I slice
through a cabin wall with
a chain saw, that the whole
building will fall apart …
light poured in. So did the
wind … the thermometer
on the post outside my door
registered minus 18 degrees
Celsius on the morning that
I cut a hole in the wall
to fit in another window.
There were the usual fid-
dles and hassles, but the job
went reasonably smoothly
and during the night I was
pleased to see light in the
room. Without street lights
to distort one’s vision, a
rural night is never truly
dark … ”
Right from the beginning
of the book it becomes clear
that Czajkowski and Ginty
have more than just a piece
of land in common.
They share a spirit of
independence and resource-
fulness, as well as an un-
wavering desire for a soli-
tary life immersed in the
spectacular landscapes of
the Chilcotin.
Czajkowski is touring
the province and will ap-
pear at the SAGA Public
Art Gallery Friday, Nov. 9
at 7 p.m., to present a slide
show and talk about her
new book.
Recently, many eyes were on the presidential debates in the United States as Democratic Presi-dent Barack Obama squared off against Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
Obama being far and away a much better speaker, with the ability to transfix viewers in a way Rom-ney cannot hope to equal, the consensus among pundits was that Obama had the most to lose from making a significant mistake, but Romney had the greater challenge in endearing himself to voters — especially the 47 per cent he may have disparaged in May at a small fundraiser.
Whether the debates did anything to move the polling numbers (Obama led entering the debate in Denver) remains to seen.
Meanwhile, in Canada, many eyes have been on Justin Trudeau as he this week announced he will be seeking to lead the Liberal party, which is tied so deeply to his father, Pierre Trudeau.
The name alone is enough to elevate Trudeau’s leadership bid far beyond that of previous aspirants.But, compared to the brief and utterly woeful ten-ures of Stéphane Dion and Michael Igantieff, the possibility of a young, handsome and articulate Trudeau reaching down to rescue the once-proud party only adds to the pizazz factor his bid creates.
Yes, politics is much more than style over sub-stance (though some elections have been won via the former, not the latter) and Trudeau’s celebrity will only carry him so far.
Speeches laden with clever lines will need to be augmented with policy beliefs and his vision of where Canada is going in the next decade.
That challenge is also Obama’s.As fine an orator as he is, voters battered by a
dismal economy during the president’s first term know full well pretty words in a splendid speech mean nothing the morning after, when jobs remain scarce and the future looks as bleak as a winter landscape on the Prairies.

MAIL BAGWhen I read last week’s issue
of Shuswap Market on the com-ing protest of the oil pipelines, I started to wonder just how many citizens in our country are aware of the looming FIPA deal with China, which is supposed
to be signed Nov. 1. There has been so little infor-
mation on this extremely impor-tant topic, I suggest people start to read up on this treaty and its signing over of our sovereignty.
If this deal goes through ac-
cording to experts on investment trade deals we could have no choice on these pipelines, it would be a done deal.

Last month more
than 300 people crowd-
ed into the Delta Sun
Peaks Ballroom to rec-
ognize excellence in the
residential construction
industry throughout the
central Interior of Brit-
ish Columbia.
Local builder, Cop-
per Island Fine Homes
Inc. of Blind Bay
captured not just one
award, but several.
The Blind Bay busi-
ness brought home the
prestigious gold award
for both Best Customer
Service and the Best

tached Home 1,500 to
1,999 square feet, as
well as silver for Best
Kitchen, in association
with Renaissance Join-
ery Millwork and De-
sign, of Salmon Arm.
“Taken by them-
selves, the words
‘customer service’
seem both simple and
obvious. As business
owners, we all want to
provide good service
because we know it is
important to our cli-
ents, as well as the fu-
ture well-being of our
businesses,” says Greg
Vistisen, owner and
president of Copper Is-
land Fine Homes stat-
ed. “We are extremely
fortunate to be working
with people who share
the same commitment
to customer service and
quality construction.”
Vistisen expressed
pride in his team, the
local sub-trades and
the suppliers who have
supported the compa-
ny’s efforts.
“Winning a Key-
stone Award in today’s
housing market is an
accomplishment to be
proud of,” said CHBA
first vice-president Na-
than Stone.
“You are turning
dreams into reality for
many of British Co-
lumbia’s homeowners
and home buyers with
your creativity, passion
and expertise.”

Meet Greg Kyllo – Twin Anchors MarineGreg Kyllo’s story is one that re-
minds us how hard work, vision and perseverance are the essential
ingredients of success.Greg has a lot of pres-sure on his shoulders – as the President of both Twin Anchors Marine and TA Structures, he is the largest private sector employer in Sicamous, B.C., a community that was recently rocked by destructive fl oods.
It’s no coincidence that Greg is in the busi-ness of building houseboats; Sicamous is known as the “houseboat capital of Canada.” As a small community where the population triples every summer, tourism industries like houseboat rent-als are essential to the livelihood of every family in Sicamous.
Founded in 1964 by Burt and Trudy Han-nah, Twin Anchors Marine was the fi rst rental houseboat company in western Canada. Greg’s stepfather purchased the company in 1977 and now Greg runs the manufacturing side with his wife Georgina, while his brother Todd and wife Jolayna look after the rentals.
It was Greg’s vision that “catapulted Twin Anchors from one-off builders to a whole pro-duction line” in 1993. Using the drafting skills he learned in high school, Greg designed the cruise craft that put the company on the international map. With a houseboat that had a stylish exte-rior and a hot tub, Twin Anchors was making millions of dollars, primarily from U.S. markets.
But Greg was never content to rest on his laurels. Twin Anchors was capturing an increas-ing share of a market that was shrinking. With 80 per cent of their business going on across the border, and shipping costs prohibiting them from selling houseboats outside of a 1500-kilometre radius, Greg feared that Twin Anchors was too exposed to the U.S. market. So he started think-
ing about other ways his business could thrive.One night while sharing a couple beers
aboard a Twin Anchors houseboat, his friend asked why the trailers he lived in on oil and gas drilling sites couldn’t be as luxurious as one of Twin Anchor’s houseboats. That got Greg thinking about the business that would become TA Structures.
TA Structures built its fi rst worker accom-modation model in 2005 and since then busi-ness has been growing, despite the tough times that lay ahead. After the 2008 fi nancial crisis, “the bottom fell out of both the marine and oil and gas sector,” Greg says. As luxury spending tightened and natural resource extraction slowed, Greg saw sales for both businesses slump. In January 2009, Greg employed 140 production workers. By July, he was down to 25.
In typical fashion, Greg persevered. Focusing on the opportunities available to TA Structures, Greg kept both companies afl oat, and today he once again employs 110 production workers. 2012 has been TA Structures’ best year yet and Greg projects they’ll do even better in 2013.
“A lot of our production today is the result of good fi scal policy, especially with the mining sector,” Greg says, “Because of all the red tape government has cut, our sales have really picked up.”
With the BC Jobs Plan’s commitment to 17 new and expanded mines by 2015, and its ambi-tious strategy to develop a liquefi ed natural gas industry that could generate a trillion dollars of economic activity in B.C. over the next 30 years, TA Structures should be able to grow and pro-vide even more jobs in Sicamous soon.
However, because of the highly-publicized fl oods that rocked Sicamous last June, Greg’s houseboat sales are at an all time low, and the
community has suffered because of the loss of tourism revenue. “The news media really sensa-tionalized it,” Greg says, “making it look so bad was really what did the most damage.” Never one to be dissuaded, Greg’s companies sand-bagged their marina facilities and with a lot long hours and hard work by their dedicated employ-ees, they were able to maintain operations.
Greg indicated that the marine sector is showing signs of recovery in the U.S., with strong interest expressed for fl eet expansion in 2013 by two of the 18 companies that they currently build for. Reduced houseboat replace-ment levels in commercial rental fl eets the past few years will result in big orders for Twin An-chors in the years ahead. Until then, Greg and his community can rely on the good jobs that TA Structures provides.
“We have good quality products and we treat people properly so we have a good reputation,” Greg says, “with any luck we will be hiring even more people again soon.”
Greg has recently become involved in Si-camous politics, acting as the Deputy Mayor, Chair of the Finance Committee and sitting on the Economic Development Committee. He is currently working with local educational insti-tutes to develop a skills training program that would help people in his community get a job that would allow them to stay close to home.
“With the type of work we do, young people would really get a chance to learn lots of different skills,” Greg says proudly, “Welding, construc-tion, electrical, plumbing, cabinetry, you name it … we do a little bit of everything.”
How Greg’s Story Connects with the BC Jobs Plan:
Enabling job creation is paramount to eco-nomic prosperity. Twin Anchors Marine and
TA Structures is the largest private-sector em-ployer in Sicamous thanks to Greg’s persever-ance through market fl uctuations and a recent natural disaster.
When BC businesses diversify to earn new market share, they are better positioned to sur-vive and take advantage of market changes.
There’s a ripple effect across all BC’s sectors when government cuts red tape. Greg attributes a boom in TA Structures trailer sales to recent changes in mining regulations.
Development of the liquefi ed natural gas in-dustry in BC will help create more jobs in the Sicamous area.

Taking the bikes to Crowfoot
It has been 38 years
since my last trip up
to the top of Crowfoot
Mountain, when I went
up on horseback dur-
ing a trail ride with
friends.
After numerous re-
ports about the dam-
age from motorized
recreational vehicles
that is occurring to the
sub-alpine meadows
and wetlands, I was ea-
ger to see it firsthand.
Thanks to the extended
warm, dry weather we
drove the rough road to
the summit on October
10th and enjoyed a de-
lightful mountain bike
ride to the lookout and
back.
It did not take long
before we saw evi-
dence of mud-bogging,
as nearly every bog and
wetland is covered in
tracks and mud that
will likely be there for
many decades, if not
forever. Due to the lack
of provincial regula-
tions that prohibit the
use of motorized vehi-
cles in high elevations
except in the Okanagan
and parts of the Shus-
wap where there is vir-
tually no enforcement,
the disgraceful off-road
vehicle “wreckreation”
continues unabated in
accessible alpine areas
throughout the Shus-
wap and the province.
And B.C. remains the
only jurisdiction in
North America without
licensing and registra-
tion for off-road ve-
hicles.
It took us only about
an hour-and-a-half to
cycle on the rocky road
to the old fire lookout
atop Mount Mobley.
The Dominion Forest
Service built this look-
out in 1928 and like the
other lookouts, there
was a telephone line
attached to trees and
log-tripods in the al-
pine that ran down the
mountain to provide
for communication.
District Forest Ranger,
Charlie Mobley super-
vised the construction
of the lookout, the trail
and the phone line and
then named the peak
after himself.
Despite all the ef-
forts, the lookout was
not in service long, as
by 1930, the provincial
government had taken
over the forest service
and many of the Do-
minion fire lookouts
were shut down, in-
cluding Mt. Mobley.
Crowfoot Moun-
tain is far from pris-
tine. The rich meadows
have long been used for
grazing, first by sheep
and more recently by
cattle and most of the
balsam trees burned in
the 1967 Mag fire. The
first sheep were herded
to the Crowfoot pas-
ture in 1926 on what
was likely a First Na-
tion hunting trail that
was then cleared by
gold miners during the
1860s as an early route
to Seymour Arm and
the Big Bend. At times,
more than 4,000 sheep
grazed in this sub-
alpine meadow dur-
ing the summers, with
many of these herds
coming from the Barn-
hartvale ranching fam-
ily, the Cordoniers.
Amazingly, despite
many decades of graz-
ing, the native flora
species of sedges and
forbs are still present
according to provincial
range agrologist, Her-
ald Hetherington. How-
ever, the distribution of
the species has been
impacted and in areas
frequented by cattle,
such as those adjacent
to various springs, soil
“hummocking” occurs
due to the pounding of
hooves. More natural
conditions may slowly
be returning, as due to
market conditions the
range atop Crowfoot
has been vacant for
four years.
As we approached
the old lookout station
on our bikes, we were
amused by the high-
way sign that indicated
the need for a sharp
turn to the left. And no
wonder, as the look-
out is perched on the
edge of a high cliff,
that at least one vehicle
missed as we could
see the wreckage be-
low. Apparently, there
was also a sledder who
did not make the turn,
however he managed
to survive the fall and
was rescued the fol-
lowing day.
Adjacent to the look-
out, which is packed
full of firewood to
serve as an emergency
shelter in the winter for
the snowmobilers, is a
solar-powered commu-
nication tower. This is
one of the forest ser-
vice’s many repeater
stations that help pro-
vide the radio frequen-
cies used on the log-
ging roads.
Crowfoot Mountain
is listed in the Shuswap
Trail Guide; neverthe-
less it would be a gru-
elling, uninspiring slog
up the 14-kilometre-
long old sheep trail now
frequented by ATVs
and motorbikes to the
meadows. It seems the
best way to experience
the mountain is with
mountain bikes, but
only high-clearance
4x4s can make it up
the road.
The mountain expe-
riences the most use
during the winter sea-
son, when there is an
average of 10 snowmo-
biles per day and up to
50 on long weekends.
The Crowfoot
Snowmobile Club
manages an impressive
hut that serves as an
emergency shelter and
a clubhouse during the
winter season and they
put a new metal roof on
the old fire lookout 10
years ago.

Nurse practitioners meet needs
Nurse practitioners
in B.C. will be adding
to their list of duties,
thanks to new regula-
tions.
Working in collabo-
ration with doctors and
other health-care pro-
viders, nurse practitio-
ners (NPs) will have
the ability to admit and
discharge patients from
health-care facilities.
The regulations are
expected to help en-
hance health services
and meet patient need
by easing congestion
and reducing work-
loads, especially for
rural regions.
The majority of NPs
in B.C. have the educa-
tion and competencies
required to admit and
discharge, but did not
have the ability legis-
lated.
Linda Sawchenko,
an Interior Health re-
gional practice leader,
said NPs have integrat-
ed into health care be-
ginning in 2005, with
32 currently practising
in the province.
“They have been
providing much-need-
ed assistance,” says
Sawchenko, noting
there is a Nurse prac-
titioner in Enderby and
one in Chase.
“When the funding
was first announced,
we looked at commu-
nities that most need-
ed additional primary
health care services.”
Sicamous is also
hoping to receive fund-
ing for a nurse practi-
tioner in the near fu-
ture.
Sawchenko says
the health authority
is checking priorities
again and funding be-
comes available to hire
more nurse practitio-
ners over the new three
years.
She says other “good
news work” is being
done with regulations
to allow nurse practi-
tioners to work to their
full scope of practice.
“Our focus has been
on placing them in pri-
mary care community
settings and we also
have some done home
visits,” says Sawchen-
ko, noting decisions
about where the NPs
will be located will be
made in the next cou-
ple of months.
“The nurse practi-
tioner in Chase has be-
come one of the most
constant health-care
providers in that com-
munity, so we know
they do provide a
much-needed service.”
NPs meet many
health-care needs of the
community, increas-
ing access to quality
primary and commu-
nity health care. NPs
provide services from
a holistic nursing per-
spective, integrating el-
ements such as diagnos-
ing, prescribing, order-
ing diagnostic tests for
treating most common
medical conditions for
patients throughout the
lifespan.
Nurse practitioners
also work collabora-
tively in a broad variety
of settings including
acute care, residential
care, mental health and
community practice
with physicians.

The B.C. Govern-
ment is opening nine
more locations for
DriveABLE, including
one in Salmon Arm, to
help reduce travel for
those drivers, includ-
ing seniors, who are
referred to functional
cognitive assessment.
The number of loca-
tions has grown to 28
from 15 in 2011, with
new locations just add-
ed in Campbell River,
Duncan, Penticton,
Port Alberni, Powell
River, Salmon Arm,
Terrace, Vernon and
Williams Lake.
The 28 communi-
ties that now have
DriveABLE loca-
tions are: Abbotsford,
Burnaby, Campbell
River, Chilliwack, Co-
quitlam, Courtenay,
Cranbrook, Dawson
Creek, Duncan, Kam-
loops, Kelowna, Lang-
ford, Nanaimo, Nelson,
North Vancouver, Pen-
ticton, Port Alberni,
Powell River, Prince
George, Richmond,
Salmon Arm, Sechelt,
Surrey, Terrace, Van-
couver, Vernon, Victo-
ria and Williams Lake.
The majority of re-
ferrals to DriveABLE
by the Offi ce of the
Superintendent of Mo-
tor Vehicles (OSMV)
stem from reports from
medical practitioners
who are concerned
about an individual’s
abilities related to safe
driving.
In 2011, OSMV re-
viewed 140,000 driver
medical examination
reports, requiring about
2,700 or two per cent of
those drivers to under-
take the assessment.
Government covers
the cost of both the in-
offi ce and on-road as-
sessments for all driv-
ers it refers.
“While a very small
number of seniors ac-
tually require the drive-
able assessment, we
will continue to look
for ways to improve
service, expand loca-
tions and provide in-
formation to families
when a cognitive as-
sessment is required,”
said Shirley Bond,
Minister of Justice and
Attorney General.

CHASE
The Chase museum will soon be under new own-ership, but don’t worry, it will still be business as usual.
Village of Chase Council recently agreed to pur-chase the museum, with an estimated value of $450,000, for a total of $50,000. The $50,000 would pay off all of the remaining debt incurred during the restoration of the museum following the 2011 fire, leaving only day-to-day costs.
“This is a fraction of the costs that were incurred to do the restoration,” says Joni Heinrich, Chase’s chief administrative officer, in an email.
While some of the funds came from the building insurance, a large portion was collected through continuous fundraising by museum volunteers.
The Chase and District Museum and Archives Society plans to lease the property back from the village and operate the museum as it normally would. The society would be held responsible for paying all bills such as electricity, gas, telephone and other costs associated with operating the mu-seum. However, it will now be the village’s respon-sibility to fix a leaky roof or mow the lawn.
The village’s decision to accept the society’s offer may have ultimately saved the museum that the community has worked so hard to rebuild.
In a letter to the village on Oct. 4, Victor Pages, society president, stated that the society did not be-lieve that the museum would be able to keep its doors open long-term, unless the village stepped in to help them out.
# The Village of Chase is purchasing the Chase museum, which will con-tinue to be operated by the Chase and District Museum Society. As well as helping to save the museum, the village may have access to grant funding that the society will not.

Firefighters were busy
last week, training
some of the village’s
future crew members.
In an attempt to edu-
cate some of the local
children on fire safety
and the importance of
knowing “two ways
out,” the department
hosted two events fo-
cusing on the students
at Haldane Elemen-
tary.
Chase Fire Chief,
Brent Chamberlain
explains that in years
past the hall would host
only their annual Fire
Chief For a Day event.
This gave the local
firefighters a chance to
bring two children from
each class from kinder-
garten to Grade 3.
The event had prov-
en to be such a success
that the local firefight-
ers have since added
a second event which
focuses on students in
grades four to seven.
In both cases the stu-
dents were picked up at
the school in the fire
and rescue trucks and
then brought to the hall
where they were able to
try on gear, meet some
of the local volunteer
firefighters and get a
tour of the hall.
Some of the Hal-
dane students were
able to watch a video
on fire safety, as well
as learn how to run a
hose and how a fire-
fighter properly enters
into a confined space
during a fire.
Wide-eyed students
watched closely as
they were shown just
how high the ladder
truck could go, as well
as what the many tools
inside the fire trucks
were used for.
The students fin-
ished off their day by
eating a lunch with
their local firefighters
before being brought
back to their classes,
once again by fire
truck.
Students ride in style on fire trucks
Lots of fun and learning # Young Chase residents got a glimpse of the inner workings of the fire department, when the Chase Fire Department held its annual Fire Chief for a Day event for Kindergarten to Grade 3 students, as well as an open house.

The local Junior Hockey team, The Heat, met the Eagles in Sicamous on Fri-day, Oct. 19.
The bad part of the weekend came early as Sicamous scored in the first period at 14:07 on the power play. It was the first goal in a hat trick evening for Cameron Berry. Less than a minute later Brendan Devries struck for his first in a four-goal evening.
At game’s end, the Eagles came out with eight goals and secured a shutout for goalie Jack Surgenor.
The game ended on an ugly note with Jacob Mattes being flattened in his crease
with 20 seconds left in the game. Suspen-sions arose with the Heat getting the worst of it.
On Saturday, Oct. 20, Heat fans saw their team take to home ice against the second-year Summerland Steam.
The good side of the team showed up on this evening with the Heat taking a 2 to 1 victory.
The Steam opened the scoring in the second on a power-play after a scoreless first period.
The Heat came out in the third hot-to-trot and put that energy to good use, scor-ing twice. Shelby Kostyshen scored early
with Nicholas Fidanza getting the lone as-sist. Later in the third, Captain Kurtis Johnson put the biscuit in the basket as-sisted by Kostyshen and Fidanza.
Kostyshen was awarded the first star and Fidanza third.
After a 10-game losing streak, the 265 fans in attendance had something to cheer about and hope for the future.
The Heat faced the Kelowna Chiefs on Tuesday, Oct. 23, and were defeated 5-1.
The boys will be back in town for a Fri-day night tilt with rivals the Kamloops Storm on Friday, Oct. 26 and then they travel to Sicamous on Saturday.
Heat cracks team’s losing streak
Chase Greyhound passengers may be see-ing some changes soon as the company has pro-posed route cuts be-tween the Alberta bor-der, Highway #1 and Vancouver.
Tera Lee Larson, Chase Greyhound man-ager, says if it happens, it will most likely affect
their business as well as Chase residents.
“Seniors who don’t drive or can’t drive, use the bus to get into Kam-loops,” explains Larson, who could think of a few regulars who use the Greyhound as a means to see their doc-tors.
“No decision as been
made yet,” says Larson, “but I suspect if a route does get cut, it will prob-ably be the morning one into Kamloops.”
The Chase branch has already seen route cuts in the past, the most re-cent loss being the morning route to Salm-on Arm.
Any concerns about
these possible changes can be emailed to [email protected]. faxed to 250-953-3788 or mailed to B.C. Passen-ger Transportation Board, Box 9850, Sta-tion Provincial Govern-ment, Victoria, B.C., V8W 9T5.

Children are often the focus of food marketing campaigns. Companies view children as having significant purchasing power because of their influence on parents and caregivers. Many of these campaigns influ-ence children’s food preferences, food choic-es and the products they request, and the results are not always healthy.
Children are often tar-geted in the grocery store through packag-ing, labelling, pricing and product placement. Food products use bright colours, characters, shapes, and flavours to grab the attention of children. Manufacturers pay extra to have their product located at eye level, at the end of aisles and at the cashier in the hopes that their attrac-tively packaged prod-ucts will be noticed by children. Many products marketed to children are high in sugar, fat, and salt. With the increasing rates of childhood obe-sity in Canada the food preferences and choices of children is a growing concern.
Parents can learn to successfully navigate the grocery store and avoid the lure and temp-tation of less healthy op-tions for children. Here’s
a couple tips to help en-courage healthy food choices in the grocery store.
Look beyond the flashy claims on the product label. Some food packages contain misleading claims about the product. For in-stance, a beverage pack-age may use big colour-ful fonts to draw atten-tion to its high vitamin and mineral content; however, it may not be as obvious that the bev-erage also contains lots of sugar because the food manufacturer does not draw attention to this information. Check the nutrition facts table, especially the percent daily value and the in-gredient list for a more accurate description of what a product actually contains.
Bring two grocery lists to the store – one for yourself and one for your child. Make sure the lists include healthy choices. Children can help grocery shop by looking for items on their list. A list will help them stay focused and they will be less dis-tracted by other prod-ucts in the grocery store. If children are influ-enced by labels and placement of less healthy food, divert their
attention back to the items still needed on their grocery list.
Make sure your child has eaten something be-fore going to the gro-cery store with you. If necessary, provide a healthy snack to occupy them while shopping. A hungry shopper, wheth-er a child or adult, is more likely to be tempt-ed by unhealthy foods.
So next time you and the kids head to the gro-cery store, do a little planning. Make some lists and don’t forget to think critically about all those flashy claims right before your eyes.
- Rose Soneff, com-
munity nutritionist with Interior Health in col-laboration with the UBC Dietetics Program in-terns Cherice Lo and Laurel Zvaigzne.
