Jackson decision shocks board By Lachlan Labere
market news staff
Bobbi Johnson’s list of things to do includes asking city council what they want and what they were thinking when they voted down a request by the school district to rezone the former J.L. Jackson school site for commercial use. Johnson, school board chair, was available to answer questions Monday night during a public hearing on the school district request to rezone the site from P3 Institutional to C2 Town Centre Commercial. But there were none, which added to her astonishment when, at the end of the
evening, Couns. Debbie Cannon, Chad Eliason and Denise Reimer’s majority vote led to the request’s defeat. (Mayor Nancy Cooper and Coun. Marg Kentel were in favour; Couns. Alan Harrison and Ken Jamieson did not participate due to a conflict of interest as employees of the school district.) “I think I was passed surprised, I was shocked,” said Johnson. “I think that we have done everything that council asked us. There’s a plan in place for that piece of property if it gets developed that the community worked on. We had a community committee that worked on all the guidelines for that property, so that’s
all done. We’ve done everything that we thought we had to do.” The school district has applied to subdivide the property from two lots to four, and plans to construct a new school district office on one of the lots. Johnson says the C2 designation would have supported a wide variety of development opportunities, including stores and/or a college campus. Monday night, after the hearing, Eliason recalled the well-attended public hearing in 2006 when rezoning was sought for three-quarters of the property to accommodate a new grocery store. He said person after person commented on how it was too
important a piece of taxpayers’ property for the public not to have input on how it’s developed. He went on to say the school district doesn’t need to rezone the entire property – that doing so would go against what the community asked for back in 2006. “I think we can work together with the school district to create variances and create a financially suitable way for them to build a new school district office to make that happen,” said Eliason. Cannon said she wanted to see a developer and a plan come to council and take things from there.

School board to review options Continued from front None of this makes sense to Johnson, who reiterated what was written by city staff in a memorandum supporting the rezoning. “Chad wanted another community meeting on it – well, that’s more time and effort and money…,” she said. “We’ve done it once, got lots of input from the whole community. We thought we covered that one. “The other fact that came out was this is taxpayers’ money that got the property, when
actually it was donated to the school district.” As for Cannon’s comments, Johnson says the school district is not into property development, adding it is council who holds all the cards on what gets developed. “Whoever gets this property has to go to council with a development plan,” said Johnson. “So when they present that to council, council has the option to say no, we don’t like this.” Johnson said the school board will now
look at their options, noting it is another six months, by municipal regulation, before they can provide an alternative to city council. Asked if she is concerned the province might step in to liquidate the property, she said no, that they are aware of its importance to the school district. She added, however, that the deadline to dispose of the unneeded lots is early 2014, and that the school board may seek an extension. “We’ll see what they say when we go back to them,” said Johnson.

With 15 varieties recalled, just seven of Gort’s cheeses remain unaffected. Co-owner Kathy Wikkerink says Canadian Food Inspection Agency inspectors are still at the farm, carrying our their investigations. No cheese can be sold until the investigation is complete. Wikkerink says the farm can sell only yogurt, milk, quark cheese and grassfed beef. The farm has laid off three of its six paid employees, leaving just three employees, along with Gary and Kathy Wikkerink and their four children who reside at home to keep things running. “We have to do what we have to do. There’s no more information (from government agencies) with what we have to do with the farm. It’s hard because you don’t know what they’re going to do. We can’t make any plans.” Asked about disposing of the cheese, Wikkerink says it is all in the government’s hands at this point. Wikkerink emphasizes her appreciation for

The news isn’t getting any better. As of Wednesday, the Public Health Agency of Canada had issued a notice that eight more cases of E. coli-caused illness linked to Gort’s Gouda Cheese Farm in Salmon Arm are being investigated, bringing the total to 22. Ten of those cases are in B.C., including a Vernon woman who died in August from the illness, along with nine cases in Alberta and one each in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Quebec. Three of the B.C. cases are in the Interior Health Authority. Except for the one death, all other cases in Canada have recovered or are recovering, states the agency. The notice adds that “certain contaminated cheese products manufactured by Gort’s Gouda Cheese Farm… have been identified as the source of the illnesses. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued a Health Hazard Alert warning the public not to consume the affected product. Should additional products be recalled as part of the ongoing food safety investigation, the CFIA will immediately inform the public.” To date, 15 varieties of Gort’s cheeses have been recalled. The notice continues: “There is currently no indication of widespread risk to Canadians. However, E. coli O157:H7 can pose a serious public health risk. Additional cases of illness may be iden-

Theatre season opens
NOW HIRING Part-time Morning/ Daytime work
Slate: Lots to laugh about this year. Shuswap Theatre opens its 37th season with the popular musical, Little Shop of Horrors, Nov. 15 to 30. Directed by Julia Body, the production is based on the book and lyrics of Howard Ashman, with music by Alan Menken. A down-and-out skid row floral assistant becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood. Its not long before “Audrey II” morphs into an ill-tempered, foulmouthed, rhythm and blues-singing carnivore, who offers the floral assistant fame and fortune in exchange for feeding the plant’s growing appetite – eventually revealing itself as an alien creature yearning for global domination. The winter production, which will run Feb. 21 through March 8, 2014 is Distracted, a drama written by Lisa Loomer and directed by Adele Kuyek. What’s wrong with nine-year-old Jesse? He can’t sit still, he curses, he raps, and getting him into or out of his pyjamas is a mission impossible. His teacher thinks he has attention deficit disorder. His dad says, “He’s just a boy.” And Mama’s on a quest for answers. Is Jesse dysfunctional, or
just different? Mother talks to professionals and neighbours alike, each with their own diagnosis as to what ails the boy. Throughout the production, Jesse is an offstage voice becoming at once louder and angrier, but in danger of fading away as his parents’ marriage is in peril. This is a hilarious, provocative and poignant look at a modern family and an epic dilemma. Next up, is the laugha-minute The Compleat Wrks of Wllm Shkspr, a parody of the bard’s plays, with all of them performed in shortened form, by only three actors. Directed by Evelyn Birch, the third Mainstage Production is an abridged version of the Complete Works of William Shakespeare and runs April 25 to May 10. Written by Adam Long, Daniel Singer and Jess Winfield, this fast-paced, gag-asecond delight deconstructs all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays, plus the sonnets, into a two-act whirlwind. Attend the play prepared to be part of the action as the audience becomes integral to this unique experience. This will be Shuswap Theatre’s entry into the OZone Festival to be
hosted in Winfield in May 2014. Enjoy the wacky entertainment provided by Shuswap Theatre’s Laughing Gas Improv troupe on Saturday, Dec. 7. This performing improv group has regular, closed practices on the first and third Monday of each month. The performing group is working on a program where others can join in on occasion. Stay tuned. Just in time for Christmas, Shuswap Theatre is co-presenting a seasonal favourite The Nutcracker, in partnership with FACES of Blind Bay. The production will feature students of dance, music, drama and art. For the older set with young-at-heart attitudes, Ida and Old Baldy’s’ Seniors Theatre resumes Oct., from 9 to 11 a.m. at the theatre on Hudson Avenue. Directed by Peter Blacklock, these fun, non-intimidating sessions also run Tuesday afternoons at Sorrento Memorial Hall and Wednesday mornings at Cedar Heights. Seniors who wish to get out and explore the world of theatre, may call Blacklock at 250675-3004. For more information, visit www.shuswaptheatre.com or call 250-832-9283.

Four-year term a sensible alternative After six years, it seems provincial and municipal politicians are finally in agreement that local government terms should be extended to four years from the current three. It’s a move that is long overdue and makes sense. Last week, municipal politicians meeting at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver, voted once again to support the move to four-year terms, a stance they took in 2007 but backtracked on three years later. Six years ago, the province was not on the same page and nixed the idea. Since then, Victoria has come around and even wanted to make the change in 2010. But that was when the municipalities stalled the idea. Now, with both sides singing from the same song sheet, a move may be made in time for the next round of civic elections, in 2014. If not, it will have to wait until 2017. Four-year terms make a lot of sense from a variety of different angles. Fewer elections mean money saved for cash-strapped municipalities, regional districts and school districts. Most other provinces in Canada already have four-year civic terms and longer terms will give rookie politicians more time to properly implement programs once they have handled the steep learning curve associated with assuming political office. Municipal councils, regional boards and boards of education need long-term vision and while there is nothing compelling a politician to seek re-election, four-year mandates do allow more time to properly learn on the job and implement policy in a proper manner. The current three-year terms have worked up to now but, like anything, it’s time to evolve. - Kelowna Capital News

OpiniOn
In praise of edible wild plants and fungi
This past weekend I attended a local fungi festival here in the Shuswap. Not intentionally, I admit, but rather by accident. I just happened to drive by and my curiosity got the better of me. It was both interesting and informative, to say the least. I not only learned about both poisonous and psychedelic mushrooms, but also about how to identify, prepare and cook edible ones. Up until now I have been pretty much dependant on the labelling on grocery store shelves. Subsequently, and in the process of searching on the Internet for information about wild foods, natural medicines and other edible products derived from nature for a column, I discovered some pretty interesting facts. Did you know that the young shoots of the spruce tree are high in vitamin C or that Captain Cook had a sugar-based spruce beer made on board during his sea voyages to prevent scurvy among the crew? Or, that willow bark, which provides salicylic acid from which Aspirin was originally synthesized, was used a pain re-
The GreaT OuTdOOrs James Murray liever by the ancient Greeks sone 2,500 years ago. I certainly didn’t know that there are more than 70,000 kinds of mushrooms and that only a fraction – about 250 – are edible. The rest can cause illness or even death. Like I said, I’ve always been one of those people who prefers to buy my mushrooms at the grocery store. The common white mushroom is, in fact, a fungi and in more instances than not, fungi are something best left alone. When your feet are itchy, you’ve probably got athlete’s foot, which is caused by, you guessed it, a fungus. Fungi and the spores from fungi can be nasty little things. In some cases they can even be deadly.
Euell Gibbons once posed the question: “Ever eat a pine tree?” in a Post Grape Nuts cereal commercial on national television back in the 1970s. Gibbons, was a writer, outdoorsman and proponent of eating edible wild plants and fungi. In his day, Gibbons made foraging for, cooking and eating wild food stuffs sound like fun. I was never convinced, but I do enjoy just walking in the woods – especially when I have an apple and an eggsalad sandwich in my pack. And, while I’ve never eaten a pine tree or really gotten into the whole foraging for and eating of wild plants and fungi thing, I do appreciate a more natural diet. I eat more fish than meat and I try to eat salads at least once a day. I cook most of my meals from scratch and make a point of using organic ingredients whenever possible. I did read, at least in part, some of Gibbons’ books: Stalking the Wild Asparagus written in 1962, 1964’s Stalking the BlueEyed Scallop and Stalking the Healthful Herbs, written in 1966. Gibbons also wrote a number of articles
for National Geographic, including one in the July 1972 issue which described a two-week stay on an uninhabited island off the coast of Maine, where Gibbons, along with his wife, Freda, and a few family friends relied solely on the island’s resources for sustenance. For some reason, I’ve always remembered that article. I think he would have kicked butt on the television program Survivor. Different kinds of tubers, leaves, flowers, seeds, nuts and the stems of many plants are all edible, not to mention certain fungi. Some can be eaten raw, while others are best boiled or roasted. Some can be used in soups or made into tea, while others are used in a variety of homeopathic cures and medicines. While I’m not altogether sure I am ready to head out into the woods to forage for supper, I think I may add a few cremini mushrooms to my next wild rice casserole, or add some sautéed oyster mushrooms to my next omelette. I wonder what pine cone seeds taste like? Maybe I’ll add some to my next bowl of Grape Nuts cereal.

Traffic troubles galore rcMP r E P O rT At 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 24, police responded to a singlevehicle collision on 50th Street NE. Investigation revealed that the driver suffered a medical episode and collided with a fence. The driver was taken to hospital for treatment unrelated to the crash.
Big meeting
At 2 p.m. on Tuesday, police noted a vehicle entering the city eastbound on the TransCanada Highway. The vehicle was travelling 50 kilometres over the posted speed limit. The driver explained that he was late for a business meeting. A ticket was issued and the vehicle was impounded for seven days.
Vehicle thieves
At 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday, a 2004 white Ford F350 was stolen from a residence on 30th Street NE. Overnight on Sunday, Sept. 22, a brown Yamaha ATV was stolen from a residence on 40th Street NE.
So impaired
About 1 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 20, police
stopped a vehicle on Third Street SW. The 53-year-old Salmon Arm driver was found to be impaired by alcohol, so the vehicle was impounded and the driver arrested. Charges of impaired driving will be forwarded to the courts. At the time of the incident, the driver was prohibited from operating a motor vehicle and was awaiting trial for another impaired driving incident that occurred in July of this year. An hour later, at 2 p.m. Sept. 20, police received a report of a vehicle stopped on the Trans-Canada Highway. Investigation revealed the 24-year-old driver from Vernon was intoxicated by prescription drugs. The driver was relieved of his driver’s licence and the vehicle was impounded.
Masked bandits
These suspects were wearing masks. At 1 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 21, police responded to a break and enter in progress on 25th Street NE. When officers arrived, they located three masked bandits – raccoons – on the front porch, pilfering food left out for family pets. They were neither handcuffed nor lodged in police cells.

At 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 22, police located a man passed out in Blackburn Park. The 35-year-old was arrested and held for court as he was in breach of several court orders in which he was to abstain from illicit drugs. At the time of his arrest he was under the influence of hard drugs, report police.
Pylon prank
Perhaps it was supposed to be funny, but it was anything but. Just after midnight on Thursday, Sept. 19, police received a report that someone had moved traffic pylons in the highway construction zone at the west end of town. The pylons were rearranged so that they directed westbound traffic into the eastbound lane. Police responded and fixed them. “This is a very serious matter and police are appealing to the public to identify the persons involved,” stated Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane in a news release. Shortly after the incident, police spotted a vehicle speeding excessively through the construction area. The driver was issued a violation ticket and the vehicle was impounded for seven days.

Fun for all If you are a woman who would like to have more activities to choose from, a new Working Women’s Social and Recreation Club could fill the bill. Organizer Monica Kriese say a number of women in the community have expressed a desire for a group or club that promotes activities without politics, bylaws or rules. “Women in the area have been saying time and time again that they want to get out with other women, but it needs to work around their lives and schedules,” says Kriese. “There are also those that work but don’t feel comfortable joining a group that focuses on business owners or managers.” “The club will take into account the difference in social and recreational needs for women with young children, empty nesters, single parents, low incomes – you name it, because you will each have a chance to suggest activities and help put it together,” says Kriese. “For example, if one of you wants to go snowshoeing one weekend, you send in the details and they are sent out to everyone in the club as an invitation to come out and join in.” Or, suggests Kriese, women who work during the day, may want to suggest a “whine and wine” event at a local bistro. “It will be your club and each of you has a say,” she adds. The club is open to women living anywhere in the Shuswap. Go to www.emailmeform.com/ builder/form/M7edIswc5deb36AP to express your interest and suggest activities.

Ploughing match goes on Saturday The 37th North Okanagan Ploughing Match will be held on Saturday, Sept. 28 at John Mckechnie’s farm on Landsdowne Road near Armstrong. There will be plenty of signage from all directions. The Art of the Plough is and always has been the foundation of good farming and that tradition has been kept alive year after year by the annual match. Ploughmen and ploughwomen from across the province will be testing their skills aboard tractors or behind horses. It may not be the swiftest spectator sport in the world; in fact it well may be the slow-
est. But then that’s what ploughing is all about. It’s also a chance for oldtimers to measure their assessments against those of the judges and for the uninitiated to learn what goes into a well ploughed “land.” The ploughing begins at 10.30 a.m. and ends no later than 3 p.m., after which scores are tallied and trophies awarded. In addition to the match there will be sheepdog trials, wagon rides, the ever-popular “Blind Love” contest for couples on a garden tractor and, you can always try your hand behind a walking plough under expert supervi-
and we’re hoping you’ll help us make a difference again this year. Visit your local Shoppers Drug Mart between September 14 and October 11 and buy a leaf ($1), a butterfly ($5), an acorn ($10) or a cardinal ($50) to help women’s health grow in your community.

Plan forming to protect water By Barb Brouwer
MARKET NEWS STAff
After several more contentious meetings regarding the Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process (SLIPP), a strategic planning meeting held in the boardroom of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District had a more positive outcome. Chair of the SLIPP steering committee, Electoral Area C South Shuswap director Paul Demenok, was pleased with the tone of the meeting and the outcome. Demenok was particularly pleased with the presentation that took members of the steering committee through the waterquality monitoring process.
“I think people really understand the science and appreciate what needs to be done,” he said, noting there are concerns over the state of Salmon Arm Bay and Mara Lake and that Shuswap and Salmon rivers are the biggest source of nitrogen and phosphorous. “We’ve known about that for years but now we have the science, it’s not just conjecture. There are thousands and thousands of measurements being taken at different times of the year, at different locations.” Demenok described the meeting as being very productive and constructive and one in which members were able to reach consensus on a number of important issues. Input from the meet-
Paul Demenok ing will be used to create a preliminary strategic plan, which will be circulated to the members of the steering committee for final review and comment. “This is my first meeting, it was very positive and I am very proud of it – we had a applause at the end of the meeting,” said the Area C director who took over as chair in June after Area F North Shuswap director Lar-
ry Morgan resigned as chair. Mayor Nancy Cooper was also pleased with the meeting and its outcome. She said there were a number of issues that needed to be aired and now that process has taken place, she sees the development of a process that the majority of people will support – particularly protecting water quality. Members of the committee include CSRD directors Mor-
gan, who did not attend the meeting, Rhona Martin of Area E Rural Sicamous and René Talbot of Area D Falkland-Silver CreekRanchero, Fraser Basin Council Thompson Region manager Mike Simpson, the mayors of Kamloops and Chase, representatives of the Regional District of North Okanagan and the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Resource Operations and Ray Nadeau, representing the public.

DO YOU PARK YOUR RIDE FOR THE WINTER?
Seeking permits to kill geese By Tom Fletcher blAcK pRESS
B.C. communities are again seeking federal and provincial help to keep the Canada goose population under control by killing geese that are fouling beaches and parks. Delegates at last week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention endorsed a resolution from Osoyoos, to address a problem that plagues many B.C. communities. Thompson Nicola Regional District director Tim Pennell told the convention that beaches around area lakes are being “destroyed” by geese, and their droppings are triggering
beach contamination warnings that affect tourism and local residents’ recreation. The Osoyoos resolution notes that addling goose eggs has had limited effect. It asks for the Canadian Wildlife Service to issue more kill permits. Failing that, they want the province to issue permits. In 2011 the UBCM asked senior governments for help controlling geese in parks, and the B.C. government said kill permits are federal jurisdiction. On Vancouver Island, golf courses hire dog handlers to chase geese off fairways, sometimes shifting the problem to the next golf course.
Farmers also struggle to protect crops from geese and deer, which have proliferated as hunting has declined. Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray raised a related concern at the UBCM convention. B.C. is considering changes to testing procedures for recreational waters, based on Health Canada guidelines that recommend beach water advisories based on a single sample of 400 E. coli per 100 ml. Gray said depending on a single sample could trigger significantly more beach water advisories, often based on a transitory visit by geese, without significant increase in risk to human health.

Is the shingles vaccine necessary? Doctors, pharmacies and walk-in medical centers now offer more vaccinations than just the standard flu shot. People have the opportunity to get vaccinated against chickenpox as well as an offshoot of that illness known as shingles. But is the shingles vaccine necessary? And if so, why? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says one in three people in the United States will develop shingles in his or her lifetime. Shingles, also known as zoster or herpes zoster, is caused by the varicella zoster virus. This is the same virus responsible for chickenpox. Anyone who has had chickenpox is susceptible to having shingles years later. That’s because, despite being inactive,
the virus remains in the body. Although doctors are not sure why, the varicella zoster virus can reactivate, causing shingles, which have different and more severe symptoms than chickenpox. It is important to note that herpes zoster is not caused by the same virus that causes genital herpes. Unlike chickenpox, which is characterized by itchy pustules that spread across the body, shingles generally begins as a very painful burning rash on one side of the body or face. The rash forms blisters that will scab in about a week. Prior to the presentation of the rash, the skin may itch and men and women may feel pain and tingling feelings in the area where the rash
will develop. Unless a person has a weakened immune system, the rash will usually be in one banded area of the body. Otherwise, it could be more widespread like the chickenpox rash. Shingles is not contagious in the obvious sense, meaning a person with shingles will not give another person shingles. However, the shingles virus can be spread to another person who has never had chickenpox. Chickenpox may develop, but shingles will not. Because the shingles rash is often in areas of the body concealed by clothing, transmission to others is rare. After the shingles blisters have scabbed over, a person can no longer pass on the zoster virus.
Shingles occurs later in life, primarily after a person has reached his or her 50s. Therefore, the CDC recommends the shingles vaccine (Zostavax) for individuals age 60 and older. The vaccine will protect the body against the reactivation of the zoster virus. It also may help those who have never had chickenpox from contracting chickenpox. The vaccine isn’t failsafe, though. In some cases, even vaccinated people will still experience shingles, although the outbreak may be less severe than if the shingles vaccine was never received. The vaccine, which requires just a single dose, transmits a live virus as a single injection in the upper arm. Red-
ness, pain, swelling, and headaches are known side effects. The vaccine is safe for most individuals. However, those who have a weakened immune system, are receiving immune-system-suppressing drugs, have tuberculosis, are pregnant or trying to become pregnant or have had a life-threatening allergic reaction to any of the ingredients in the shingles vaccine should not be vaccinated. Even those who have had shingles before are urged to get the vaccine to prevent future occurrences. It is important for people to discuss their treatment options with their doctors and also to inquire if their medical insurance covers the shingles vaccine.

The 10 warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease Few families are fortunate enough to say they have not been impacted by Alzheimer’s disease. A progressive, degenerative disease of the brain, Alzheimer’s impairs thinking and memory, accounting for 50 to 80 percent of dementia cases according to the Alzheimer’s Association. Though many people’s experiences with Alzheimer’s disease involves an elderly relative, the disease is not exclusive to the elderly. Up to 5 percent of people with the disease have earlyonset Alzheimer’s, which most often appears when someone is in their 40s and 50s. In 2011, 59-year-old Pat Summitt, the all-time winningest coach in NCAA basketball history and a beloved figure on the campus of the University of Tennessee, revealed that she had been diagnosed with early-onset dementia, Alzheimer’s type. That announcement opened the eyes of men and women
across the country, who might otherwise never have known that dementia could strike so early or to someone who seemed as healthy as Summitt, who vowed to continue coaching despite the diagnosis. Because it can strike men and women even if they aren’t elderly, it’s important to know these 10 warning signs of Alzheimer’s, courtesy of the Alzheimer’s Association and the Alzheimer Society of Canada. 1. Memory loss that disrupts daily life. Memory loss is one of the most common signs of Alzheimer’s. This is especially so if men and women forget things that happened very recently, which can negatively impact their daily lives. Additional signs include forgetting important dates and events; asking for the same information over and over again; or relying on memory aides such as reminder notes or even family members for things individuals
could once remember on their own. 2. Difficulty planning. Some people might start to exhibit difficulty following a plan or working with numbers, be it following a recipe or paying the monthly bills. Concentration is often difficult for those exhibiting symptoms of Alzheimer’s. 3. Difficulty completing familiar tasks. Daily tasks such as driving to work or remembering the rules of a familiar game will prove difficult for people with Alzheimer’s. 4. Disorientation with regards to time and/or place. Nearly everyone has had momentary lapses where they forget what time it is or what day it is. But such lapses are not momentary for people with Alzheimer’s, who might even get lost on their own street and not remember how to get home. 5. Trouble understand-
ing images and spatial relationships. Some people with Alzheimer’s have difficulty reading, judging distance or determining color or contrast. For example, a person with Alzheimer’s might walk past a mirror and not realize he or she is the person in the mirror. 6. New problems with words in speaking or writing. People with Alzheimer’s might experience trouble holding or joining a conversation. An example is stopping in the middle of a conversation and having no idea how to continue. They might also struggle with vocabulary, often having trouble finding the right word to express what they’re thinking. 7. Misplacing things. People with Alzheimer’s might put things in unusual places and then experience difficulty retracing their steps to find those items. This tends to occur more frequently over time,

Poor judgement, such as not visiting the doctor or mishandling finances, is another warning sign for Alzheimer’s. These poor decisions can extend to personal grooming, which men and women with Alzheimer’s might neglect.
9. Withdrawal from society. Men and women with Alzheimer’s might start to withdraw from society, removing themselves from social activities, projects at work or hobbies. Avid sports fans might no longer be able to follow their favorite team, while social butterflies might grow reclusive. 10. Changes in mood
and personality. People with Alzheimer’s might experience mood swings for no apparent reason and can become anxious, confused, depressed, fearful, or suspicious. Acting out of character might also be indicative of Alzheimer’s. More information about Alzheimer’s disease is available at: www.alz.org and www.alzheimer.ca.

The centre of the Shuswap It was a delightful way to finish off the summer, paddling to the ‘centre’ of the Shuswap to experience the unique geographical vibes of the Cinnemousun Narrows. Normally, the Narrows is where the motorized crowd hangs out, as it is the busiest stretch of our waterways. We had thought that since this was the second week of September we could enjoy some peace and tranquility in this very special area, but at the Narrows there was still a bustling plethora of houseboats, speedboats, Sea-Doos and yachts. Nonetheless, we managed to enjoy the spectacular views, the hike on a superb lookout trail and the water that was still warm enough for swimming. Both sides of the Narrows are within the 738-hectare provincial park, which had been enlarged by 209 hectares in the year 2000 through the OkanaganShuswap land use plan. There are 28 excellent, upscale camping spots there for the boating crowd and even three rustic cabins available on a first come, first served basis. Tied up to the five modern wharfs were a number of impressive yachts. But you do not need an expensive motorboat to get there, as the Narrows is just a 40-minute paddle from Ruckell Point on the North Shuswap and
ShuSwap paSSion Jim Cooperman is also fairly close to Wild Rose Bay. A special spot was Haven Point. Standing on the outcropping of metamorphic bedrock and looking up at the lighthouse and cairn provided a maritime feel while I switched gazes to look at the Narrows, to the north up Seymour Arm and then west down the Main Arm. The cairn is dedicated to Captain John J. Smith, who was presumed drowned as his body was never found when his boat, The Whitesmith, was found pushed up on shore and out of gas. He was the captain of one of the last sternwheelers on the Shuswap, the Andover. The earliest mention of the Narrows was in a report by government surveyor and explorer Walter Moberly, who camped at the Narrows in July 1865 on his way to build the trail to the Columbia River gold fields. In his 1892 report on the Shuswap Indians, George Dawson described the Indian meaning for Cinnemousun as “going around a point or bend.”
One of the heritage features of the park is the Patrolman’s Cabin, built with logs in 1922 for use by forest ranger patrolmen. It served as the headquarters for monitoring the eastern and northern portions of the lake that were inaccessible by road. Still standing in front of the cabin are the maple and chestnut trees that were planted in 1928. The cabin was still in use by volunteer park hosts who stayed there for the summers up until about 10 year ago. Bats in the attic ended the use of the structure due to health concerns. Just east of the cabin on the only sandy beach in the Narrows is the camp for the park operator who maintains most of the Shuswap marine parks. This is a popular swimming beach for boaters, but we chose to swim off the wharf on the north side of the Narrows as it was in the sun. From there we watched the constant flotilla of boats
and the hub-up scene at the floating store. At one point an ultra-light with pontoons buzzed right over our heads. Close to the sandy beach is another cairn, dedicated to Paul Nielsen, who served first as a forest service patrolman and then as the Provincial Park branch ranger until he passed away in 1979 at the age of 87. He was dedicated to protecting the Narrows, which had become part of the park system in 1956, when there were just six camping spots. The cairn was erected by the Royal Canadian Legion in Sicamous and the Kamloops Yacht Club. One of the highlights of the day was our hike on the well-trodden, two-kilometre trail on the south side, where there are remnant stands of giant old growth, fire scarred Douglas fir trees. There are two lookouts at the top, one with a view up Anstey Arm that is looked after by the rangers.

Chase gives up paper for online billing A new study concludes that B.C. households are more “green” with their paper use than others in North America when it comes to utility bills. A recent comparison conducted by E-Source indicates that BC Hydro has the tenth highest adoption rate for paperless billing among 51 utilities in North America. Close to 21 per cent of BC Hydro’s cus-
tomers in Chase have “switched off” their paper bills in favour of online billing. Provincewide, more than half a million of BC Hydro’s 1.7 million residential customers have made the switch by signing up for an online account. “I go online to check my account and electricity bill. It’s not just more convenient, it also gives me an idea
of which days I use the most power. I can use this information to try to find ways to save,” said Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines. “We know conservation is going to play a big role in meeting B.C.’s future energy needs, so every little bit helps.” In addition to being environmentally friendly, there are many other benefits to creating an
online account. For example, customers can monitor their electricity use broken down by the hour, track the cost of their electricity use up to the day before and compare their use to similar homes nearby. BC Hydro also offers online conservation tips to help customers save energy. To create an online account and switch to online billing, visit bchydro.com/myhydro.

NOTICE OF PENDING DECISION ON TEMPORARY USE PERMIT
Pursuant to Sections 892 (4) through (7) and 921 of the Local Government Act, R.S.B.C. 1996: Re:
Consideration of Issuance of Temporary Use Permit #2 - 2013 for the Bowling Alley property located at 734 First Avenue, Chase, BC
Please take note that Council, at its Regular Meeting to be held at the Community Hall located at 547 Shuswap Avenue in Chase on Tuesday, October 8, 2013 at 4:00 p.m. intends to consider issuance of a Temporary Use Permit (TUP) that, if approved, will allow the additional use of “wood sales” only, from the fenced area behind the bowling alley building located at 734 First Avenue. The application applies to the lot which is legally described as Parcel B, Block W, Plan 794, DL 517, Kamloops Division Yale District, PID 023-869-461.

Photography featured at museum Chase Museum’s featured artist of the month is Rob Mclean. Beginning Oct. 1, his photography will be on display. Mclean began to take pictures with a standard film camera that was given to him by his grandmother. He found that it gave him an outlet that made him less shy with people and it encouraged him to see the world in a different light. With the develop-
ment of his photographer’s eye, he graduated to a new digital (singlelens reflex) SLR camera that allowed him to edit and thus create his own vision. McLean shares that vision with organizations such as the Chase literacy program, the village office and schools in Chase. Stop by and view his work Tuesday to Thursday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

This past weekend’s hockey schedule saw the Chase Heat take on the new franchise 100 Mile House Wranglers in home-and-home games. On Friday the 20th the Wranglers were visitors at Art Holding Memorial Arena. Not too sure what the lesson taught was, but at the end 100 Mile walked
away with a 3 – 0 victory. Two hundred and 50 fans left the building deeply disappointed. Kristian Stead stopped all 24 shots he faced and teammate Connor Sloan potted two goals. Not possible to find a highlight on the Chase Heat side. Then came Saturday night in 100 Mile House at the season home opener for the Wranglers. The two teams swapped the
frustration of the previous evening as the Heat took a 5 – 1 victory back home to the Shuswap. The building was rocking at the start with 493 fans who were silenced by the middle of the second. The spoilers of the coming-out party were led by Jake Mattes in goal who stopped 27 of 28 shots. Local lad Cody Hodges had two goals and an assist, Kurtis Johnson had three assists, Cody
Koskimaki had a goal and two assists, Kaleb Boyle and McKenzie Guardiero both had a goal and an assist. On the back end both Wes Matsuda and Alex Durbeniuk had outstanding games. The Heat travel to the East Kootenay next weekend for a trio of games versus tough opposition. On Oct 6 they are back in Chase to take on the Creston Valley Thundercats.

DAVIS, ROBERT MORRIS NOV. 11, 1926 – SEPT. 11, 2013 Robert Morris Davis (Cowboy Bob) passed away, Wednesday Sept 11 2013 at 8:10 am at the Shuswap Lake General Hospital in Salmon Arm. His three daughters and one son were able to say their goodbyes as well as his only surviving brother. His caregiver and partner Judith Platzer was by his side till the end.

He also had 7 Grandchildren and 7 Great Grandchildren. Bob was born in Melville Saskatchewan and was the second youngest of a family of 13 brothers and sisters. As a young man he did his part for the war effort by enlisting in the Merchant Marines. He later moved to the west coast and worked on the tugboats for his brother-in-law. It was during that time where he met and married Monica Snow. They moved to Nanaimo where he took his Heavy Duty Mechanics.

In later life Dad did a number of things from working on the Hydro project in Revelstoke to Ranching and running a Feed Store in Merritt. In his retirement years he spent some time living on his boat at Pender Island. Dad was as comfortable running his small yacht as sitting in the saddle or driving his beloved team of appaloosas.

On the run
n Salmon Arm Secondary Varsity Golds football player Tyden Robert runs past the Fulton defence during the Golds 27-14 loss to the Vernon Fulton Maroons in a game played Friday evening at the SASCU Sports Field at Little Mountain.
Support a Hike for Hospice this fall Join the Shuswap Trail Alliance, Shuswap Hospice and Salmon Arm Recreation on the last two fall hikes exploring trails throughout the Shuswap. • On Sept. 28, join Shirley Bates to hike Cougar Bluffs. This is a moderate hike. Again, meet at the SASCU Recreation Centre parking lot in Salmon Arm at 8:15 a.m. for an 8:30 a.m. departure. Those in the Skimikin area can meet at Skimikin Campground at 9 a.m. • On Oct. 5, join Phil McIntyre-Paul to hike Tuktakamin Mountain near Falkland. This is a very difficult hike and is for experienced hikers. Again, meet at the SASCU Recreation Centre parking lot in Salmon Arm at 8:15 a.m. for an 8:30 a.m. departure. Or 9 a.m. at the Falkland Community Hall on Highway 97 through town. Four-wheel-drive vehicles will be needed to carpool up to the trailhead. The cost of each hike is $10 per individual or $25 per family. Proceeds go to the Shuswap Hospice Society and to cover the cost of insurance. For further details and to register, call the hospice office at 250-832-7099.
