the day but was not brought to the attention of school administration until later that afternoon. RCMP report an inked graffiti bomb threat, which included homophobic slurs, was noticed in the tunnel under the highway leading to the Jackson campus. Police spent that night thoroughly searching the school and found nothing threatening. An RCMP explosives sniffer dog was brought up from Kelowna and inspected both the interior and exterior of the property.
Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane of the Salmon Arm detachment congratulated school staff for “their measured and professional handling of the situation.” After assessing the situation, the school district made a decision to cancel the remainder of afternoon classes at Jackson and walk the students to the Sullivan campus to catch buses from there. In a letter emailed to parents, superintendent Glenn Borthistle explained, “The school district received what was felt by school

Family loses home to fire By Tracy Hughes
MARKET NEWS STAFF
The Tappen Sunnybrae Fire Department placed an empty fire boot at the Tappen Co-op to collect cash donations for a family of five who lost their home following a Feb. 9 fire on Bolton Road. The family, which includes grandparents raising two grandchildren and also living with an adult child, was not at home when the fire broke out in the back of the house. While the house was decimated, firefighters did manage to prevent the fire from spreading to an adjacent barn with the family’s animals inside, their small orchard of fruit trees and a vehicle. Everything inside the house was destroyed. Fire Chief Kyle Schneider says next-door neighbours have been able to offer the family temporary accommodation in another house on their property. “It’s tremendous to see neighbours helping neighbours like that,” he said. An official cause of the blaze has not yet been determined, but it is not suspicious. Schneider says it appears the fire originated near a basement wood stove

Schneider urges citizens with wood heat to ensure chimneys are well maintained. “A neighbour of theirs, who happens to be a firefighter was working in his basement when he smelled smoke. When he went upstairs to investigate, he saw the back of the house around the chimney was on fire and called 911,” said Schneider. The firefighter ran into the house to make sure no one was inside and managed to rescue the family dog before fire crews arrived on scene. Schneider says it took firefighters eight hours to fully extinguish the blaze, which took place in bit-
terly cold conditions. “We had some real issues with the cold freezing our waterlines, our radios kept having to be defrosted, everything was freezing up.” Assistance was also provided by tanker trucks from the White Lake and Shuswap fire departments. The fire chief offers credit to the Area C Rehab Unit, which came out to ensure that the firefighters were taken care of during the blaze. “They did a tremendous job looking after us, so we could do our job in putting out this fire,” said Schneider.

n The former Louisiana Pacific Mill, under new ownership, is expected to be up and running by midApril.
Mill expected to re-open
Malakwa: Elite Forest Products Ltd. takes ownership. By Lachlan Labere
MARKET NEWS STAff
Rumours about the former Louisiana Pacific Mill in Malakwa re-opening are true. Citing economic reasons, Louisiana Pacific closed the sawmill in 2005, resulting in the layoff of 91 employees. The mill was last operational about four years ago under a different owner. Since then, there have been a number of attempts get the mill going again. This time, however, Ray Hansen says it’s the real deal. Hansen, who lives onsite at the mill, will be general manager for Elite Forest Products Ltd.’s Malakwa operation. He says the property was purchased in the spring by Lower Mainland investors who plan to have the mill up and running by mid to late spring. “We are going to start readying the mill next month and bring in the
mechanics and stuff,” said Hansen. “We figure it will take anywhere from one to two weeks.” Hansen says the mill’s new owners have already invested about $100,000 in upgrades and improvements, in addition to securing their own timber licence. “We did some upgrades last fall. We didn’t get them all finished, but we upgraded the electrical, we upgraded the chipping system and so, you know, they have spent a considerable amount of money,” said Hansen. “And the wood licence was, of course, those are very expensive nowadays, we’re talking millions.” Initially, Hansen says about 15 to 20 people will be hired, excluding management, with the intent of hiring locally. And while some key people are already lined up, he says there is still a need for operators, etc. Hansen says the mill

markets. “Apparently, it’s going to China – they’re the big buyers now,” said Hansen. The current plan is to get the mill operational and keep it going until freeze-up, says Hansen.
“That’s at least, if the markets are good and things are going well and we’re able to ready the mill to run in the winter,” said Hansen. “Then we will run in the winter in a limited amount, but that’s only if things really improve from the first year.” Though initial employment numbers may not be the same as in 2005, Hansen recognizes the important role the mill can still play in the local economy. “This mill was really the backbone of the employment of this area for so many years,” said Hansen. “And then, when it shut down, boy, oh boy, it’s a rough road to hoe here employment wise…” Anyone wishing to contact Hansen can do so by calling 250-8363996.

Olympic committee out of touch Last week, International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach referred to Russia’s stance on homosexuality as a political issue and chastised countries who were using the Olympics to shine an unflattering light on Russian president Vladimir Putin. This comment shows you how out of touch the IOC hierarchy is with the real world. Equality is not a political issue, it is a fundamental human right – it should exist regardless of political stripe. In an attempt to not offend Putin, Bach missed an opportunity to show support for the athletes he represents. Without the athletes, there would be no Olympic Games, there would be no IOC and Mr. Bach would be doing something else. But the blame lies not only with the president of the IOC. Canadian Olympic Committee president Marcel Aubut encouraged Canadian athletes to park their opinions at the door and focus on competing and winning. The athletes themselves have also missed an important opportunity. Some Canadian athletes have also said the matter is distracting and they need to focus on their competition. In other words, doing or saying anything at the moment is inconvenient. Life is inconvenient, things happen all the time. How convenient is it right now to be an LGBTQ athlete or citizen in Russia? On the other hand, the Olympic team from Greece wore rainbow-coloured gloves. Kudos to them for a simple but important gesture. Go Canada Go — if it’s convenient. -Penticton Western News

OpiniOn
No conflict in eating local wild fish I was recently asked how I can say that I am a practitioner of catch and release while, at the same time, also write in my column about cooking and preparing fish for a meal. The answer is simple. I enjoy fishing. I release the vast majority of fish that I catch immediately and only keep a fish when I plan to eat it right away as a shore lunch. I do not catch fish and put them in the freezer. Most of the fish that I cook at home I buy from one of several fresh fish shops in the area. That, however, is a another whole kettle of fish which I shall discuss in next week’s column. As much as I enjoy fishing and eating fish, I do have concerns about wild fish stock populations, and consequently advocate the practice of catch and release as a means of helping to prevent fish populations from dwindling or disappearing from what are, in certain cases, too heavily fished waters. I have completely stopped salmon fishing altogether and have stated that I will not cast another line for
The GreaT OuTdOOrs James Murray Interior salmon until their numbers come back significantly. I can only hope. A fair number of B.C.’s salmon and trout waters have been designated “catch and release fishing only,” in an attempt to preserve the quality of sport fishing. Catch and release has been similarly promoted by governments as a management tool in an effort to reduce the cost of rearing and using stocked fish, while at the same time ensuring the sustainability of natural fish stocks. Again, one can only hope. Countless studies have measured the effectiveness of catch and release on fish mortality and, in pretty well each and every one, the link
between fish mortality and post-release survival rates boils down to one thing: the amount of stress fish are subjected to while on the line. To put things in simpler terms, the manner in which fish are caught and played is as important as the manner in which they are released. Most fish are caught using either some form of artificial lure or natural bait. Numerous studies have compared mortality rates and angling methods, and have found that the use of artificial baits such as lures or flies does significantly reduce both the incidence of fish swallowing bait too deeply and the rates of fish mortality. A majority of fish mortality studies would also seem to indicate that the physiological effects of stress (as a result of being caught) are usually pretty well reversed within a 24 hour period. One could infer from these studies that the use of heavy tackle is desirable in lowering mortality rates and, conversely, that lighter tackle and lower strength lines may increase the risk of mortality.
Common sense, as well as scientific data, show that the longer fish are out of the water, the more they become stressed, and that a minimal amount of handling not only reduces the amount of postcatch stress, but also the risk of physical injury due to struggling and loss of body slime. Holding a fish out of the water puts added stress on its inner body and organs which are, in part, held in place by the external force of water pressure. I cradle fish right on the surface – but still in the water – when removing the hook. Proper catch and release practices are important, not only to the survival of fish that are caught, but also to the future of fish stocks to be caught in years to come. I do not see a conflict between catch and release and eating fish. Truth be told, there are an ever-increasing number of reasons why there is something to be said for catching and cooking fish from local waters. Quite simply, it is safer and healthier than using farmed or imported fish.

VIEW POINT Blind Bay vote should stand I have been following the application process for this proposed development on the Blind Bay lakeshore. I am concerned because I thought that the vote by the CSRD reps. for area C to refuse permission to develop would be the end of that proposal. And now, from what I read in the local media, the proponents are asking for a re-vote, which would amount to a tac-
tic of requesting re-opening the issues and more voting until they get what they want. I completely understand why the proposal was turned down by our elected reps. for all the reasons outlined by the SLIPP strategic plan and the official community plan (OCP), which was the result of much research and study by competent planners at the CSRD. I would like to be reassured
that due process will be followed and that the integrity of our lakeshore will remain intact for the generations to come. Clean, fresh water and air are the most valuable resources in the world for which there is no price. Just look at what is going on in the drought-ridden state of California. When it is gone it is gone forever.
The words we should use A study from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives published earlier this year shows that Canada’s 100 best-paid chief executive officers breezed through year 2012 with earnings near 271 times higher than the average Canadian worker – $7.96 million compared to $46,634. I think there is no word to fully express my feelings towards this.
Some words, though, easily come to my mind to express the reasons behind such discrepancies – words that we would need to name and repeat if we wish to put an end to such an abuse. They are: selfishness, contempt, cynicism, corruption, abuse and patronage. And if we want to push deeper, they are: political party financing, lobbying, propaganda, media concentration,

diversion of democracy and lack of democracy. I am sure Canadians do not only think this is unfair. An increasing number of them must also realize that only an equal sharing of powers – which would mean a real democracy – would lead us towards an equal wealth sharing. Bruno Marquis
The SLIPP strategic plan and the official community plan OCP were created for good reason and there can be no business argument for one partisan group of investors, who may or may not even live here, to change the vision for a healthy environment in Blind Bay and the whole of our Shuswap Lake.

Public input sought for lake water quality initiatives Monitoring and managing water quality in the Shuswap is the focus of the newly created Shuswap Watershed Council. The council is an offshoot of the Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process that had multiple objectives and is coming to an end on March 31. Water quality monitoring will continue through 2014. The new council is seeking public input as it develops a water quality program for 2015 and beyond. “The members of the steering committee have developed a program outline based on what we think is needed in the Shuswap to
Paul Demenok protect the water quality and ensure safe recreation on the lakes,” says Columbia Shuswap Regional District Area C director Paul Demenok, noting the vision has always been a program created in the Shuswap, by the people of the Shuswap, for the Shuswap. “We are ready to present the
outline to the public and get their feedback on it.” Before the council moves ahead, members are looking to the public for their input on the objectives and strategies. The terms of reference that outline the program can be read online at www.shuswapwater.com. Everyone is encouraged to read the threepage document and complete a brief survey located at the same website. Survey respondents may enter a draw to win a $150 gift certificate to a Shuswapbased business of their choice.

Burma’s next president, if possible
Gwynne Dyer Aung San Suu Kyi, Nobel Peace Prize winner and champion of Burmese democracy, declared last June that she would run for president in the 2015 election. If she ran, she would surely win: she is to Burma what Nelson Mandela was to South Africa. However, as things now stand she is not legally allowed to run for president – and maybe she should see that as an opportunity to reconsider whether becoming president is the best use of her talents. Burma is part-way through a transition from a 50-year military dictatorship to democracy, and Aung San Suu Kyi is the unquestioned leader of the democratic movement. Unless the military rig or cancel next year’s election, her National League for Democracy (NLD) will certainly win a large majority in parliament in 2015. But she has no executive experience of any kind. She doesn’t really have experience even in leading a political party, although she was a co-founder of the NLD in 1988 and has always been its leader. She was under house arrest most of the time, and most of the party’s other leaders were in jail, so she was never
mese economy. But clause 59F is still in the constitution. A parliamentary review committee with a majority of members from the generals’ tame political party reported last week that it had received 30,000 submissions for changes, including more than 5,000 on the “Suu Kyi clause.” But it just listed all the submissions, making no recommendations about them – except to say that changes not requiring a referendum or that help to consolidate peace with Burma’s many armed ethnic minorities should be given priority. Changing clause 59F would require a referendum and it’s obviously not about rebel ethnic groups. It looks like Suu Kyi has been had.. When Thein Sein was asked about the clause last week, he replied: “I would not want restrictions being imposed on the right of any citizen to become the leader of the country. At the same time, we will need to have all necessary measures in place in order to defend our national interests and sovereignty.” “Sovereignty,” of course, is code for not letting anyone with “foreign” ties near the presidency. Aung San Suu Kyi has devoted half her adult life to bringing democracy to Burma, at great personal cost, and she clearly sees winning the presidency as the final validation of her long struggle. But before she launches a battle over clause 59F that will use up all the political oxygen
for the next year, she should ask herself if the presidency is really where she can be most useful. Is there nobody in her party, perhaps somebody a bit younger (she is 68), who has the right skills for the demanding job of executive president at a time of huge political and economic transformation? Maybe she should consider the example of Sonia Gandhi, the widow of India’s assassinated former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, who led the Congress Party to a resounding election victory in 2004. Sonia Gandhi could have become prime minister if she wanted, but she had a “foreign” problem too: she is an Indian citizen, but she was born and brought up Italian. So she chose economist Manmo-
han Singh to be prime minister, a job he has done with reasonable efficiency for the past ten years, while she remained Congress Party leader and kept it united behind him. The circumstances are not identical, but Burma needs a president who (a) has the right skills for the job, and (b) has a united party behind him or her. Maybe Aung San Suu Kyi’s most useful role would be as party leader and moral authority, while somebody else gets down in the dirt and makes the day-to-day decisions that will eat away the popularity of even the most respected leader in the end. -Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

challenged by rivals and never had to administer anything. Despite that she may be a wonderful natural leader, but such people are very rare. She is much more likely to be, like Mandela, an inspiring symbol of democracy with quite limited administrative skills. If so, she should rethink her position. The law that bans her from the presidency is clause 59F of the constitution that was written by the military in 2008, which states that the spouse and children of a prospective president cannot owe their “allegiance to a foreign power.” It applies to her because her two sons with her late husband, the British academic Michael Aris, have British citizenship. This is not just an unfortunate coincidence: the law was written that way to ensure that she could never become president. She presumably thought she had a deal to get rid of that clause when she agreed with the current president, ex-general Thein Sein, to run for parliament under the military-drafted constitution in late 2011. Under that deal, the NLD ran candidates in 45 by-elections in April, 2012, and won 43 of them. The NLD members took up their seats in parliament, and the world concluded that the democratic transition in Burma was real. So the sanctions that many Western countries maintained against the military regime were relaxed, and investments began pouring into the moribund Bur-

No veteran left behind FROM THE HILL Colin Mayes The Department of Veterans Affairs conducted an audit of all the 60 Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) offices located across Canada and, as a result, nine are being closed due to little use (less than 10 clients per day). Our government has recently partnered VAC with Service Canada, to provide our Veterans with more than 600 new contact points to access benefits in addition to the 51 remaining VAC offices. After hearing the concerns of Veterans about these office closures, the minister made the decision to place a VAC
employee in the Service Canada Centres at each location that a VAC office is being closed so that our veterans, in each affected location, will still have direct access to VAC staff. One of the offices closed was in Kelowna, and the contact point was moved to the Kelowna Service Canada Centre, located in the same building, and will retain a VAC staff member to serve the area. In our riding, there is a Service Canada Centre located in Vernon that provides information on programs and services on behalf of VAC. In addition to the now 650-plus physical locations that VAC services can now be accessed, online and telephone services are also being expanded, ensuring that these services can be reached from anywhere in the country, making VAC more accessible than ever before. We have also estab-
lished and expanded 17 Operational Stress Injury Clinics and 24 Integrated Personnel Support Centres to provide assessment, treatment, prevention and support services to serving CAF members and Veterans. If a veteran has

trouble travelling to a VAC office, medical or other facilities; doctors, nurses or case workers will go to the veteran’s home. Since coming to office, our government has allocated almost $5 billion in new, additional funding for veterans benefits, programs and
services. This is an issue our government has been active on to provide more access and improved benefits. In Budget 2013, your government increased the ‘Last Post Fund’ for veterans. This fund is the most generous amongst all our allies. We have made investments to understand and address post-traumatic stress disorder, and our clinics are now being cited as the model being used by our allies. With the transition to provide one-stop government services through Service Canada, we are committed to ensure that no veteran is left behind in receiving the very best assistance possible. We are dedicated to the men and women who have served Canada, and will not waver in that commitment. -Colin Mayes is the Member of Parliament for the OkanaganShuswap riding.

What will you be eating in 2014? Food resolutions from doctors, dietitians and more Angela Mulholland, CTVNews.ca Topping the New Year’s resolutions list of many people each year is to eat better. It’s a noble goal, but one many of us have trouble sticking with. But it might be comforting to remember that even health experts have their food pitfalls. We asked several Canadian doctors, dietitians, and even a few familiar CTV faces, what diet resolutions they’ve made for the New Year. And while no food should be considered a “bad” food -- all things in moderation, right? -- we wanted to know about the foods the experts considered their personal “kryptonites,” the foods they realize they are simply powerless against. And finally, we wanted to know what so-called “naughty” foods -- the foods that have gotten a bad rap -- the experts planned to keep right on eating. Here’s what they said: Dr. Chris Simpson, professor and head of cardiology at Kingston General Hospital and Queen’s University and president-elect of the Canadian Medical Association. What foods are you resolving to eat more in 2014? I am resolving to eat more fresh vegetables and fruit as a midday snack. Like everyone else, I have found it’s easier to find less-than-healthy foods than it is to find healthy foods. So there will always be veggies and fruit in my office to help those midday cravings. What‘s your food “kryptonite”? I’m afraid it’s chocolate. It’s very difficult to resist! Espe-
Eye Health Take this test: Are you Diabetic? Wear Contact Lenses? Over 65?

If you answered yes to any of the above, you need to know that eye disease can silently sneak up and cause vision loss. Yearly exams detect problems early and help prevent blindness.
Sicamous Vision Care Centre
Topping the New Year’s resolutions list of many people each year is to eat better. cially those Lindor chocolates, the ones in the red wrapper. What “naughty” food do you allow yourself to indulge in? Guacamole in a chip bowl. Fantastic! Jennifer Sygo, registered dietitian and sports nutritionist at Cleveland Clinic Canada What foods are you resolving to eat more of in 2014? I feel I could always do better with beans and legumes, like chickpeas and lentils. Actually, my goal this winter is to find the “world’s best lentil soup recipe.” If anyone has any suggestions, I’m all ears! What’s your food “kryptonite”? Probably cereal. I love it, but I have to do my best not to eat it as dessert -- it’s basically a whole other meal! I also love chocolate-covered raisins. I never buy them, but my husband has a habit of bringing them home from the bulk food store every once in a while -- and then I’m in trouble. What “naughty” food do you allow yourself to indulge in?
When I go to baseball games, I often have pizza and a beer. For me, it’s part of the experience, and it’s one of my favourite things to do on warm summer nights. With two young kids, I don’t get to go to night games very often, but for the couple of games a year my husband and I make it out to, it’s really nice. Avis Favaro, CTV News medical specialist What foods are you resolving to eat more of in 2014? I think I have a pretty healthy and varied diet with fruit and yogurt in the morning. Veggies and a bit of protein at lunch and a smaller dinner. I am working on adding more fish and tofu. What‘s your food “kryptonite”? My cocaine is apple pie. That’s why I stopped buying them long ago. If there is a apple pie anywhere near me, it is quickly devoured. With milk. My other problem is that my hubby has somehow found a way to actually lose 25 pounds while still consuming Ruffles potato chips. Go figure. He has to hide them from me.
What “naughty” food do you allow yourself to indulge in? Dark chocolate and wine. In moderation. Scientific studies say a bit of both is good for you and who can argue with that kind of endorsement! Rosie Schwartz, registered dietician What foods are you resolving to eat more of in 2014? I am looking to boost my intake of fermented foods in the coming year. It seems that more and more research is pointing to an ever-increasing role of gut bacteria to better health and disease prevention. Our microbiota seems to be key! What‘s your food “kryptonite”? Fabulous frites -- Jamie Kennedy’s in particular -with a delicious aioli. I love them very thin and crisp and Jamie Kennedy’s are usually served with a lemon aioli. My homemade baked fries-cut up potatoes tossed in extra virgin olive oil and baked in my convection oven are pretty good but…

Charity walk set for Feb. 22 It might be cold, but the cause will warm your heart. On Feb. 22, the Lighthouse Shelter, Salvation Army Food Bank and Second Harvest Food Bank are hosting the Coldest Night of the Year, a fun, family-friendly five- and 10-kilometre fundraising walk
to support the hungry, homeless and hurting in the Salmon Arm community. These cold winter months can be especially challenging for those without secure shelter or a steady income. The local shelter and food banks provide a warm bed, a hot meal and some food for
the cupboards of our neighbours who need help. In Salmon Arm, the goal is to raise $50,000. Registration and fundraising are easy to do on the updated website: www.coldestnightoftheyear.com On-site registration begins at 4 p.m. at the First United Church,
with the walk’s kickoff at 5 p.m. outside Salmon Arm city hall. Coldest Night of the Year has spread to more than 60 locations across Canada, and hopes to raise $2.5 million.

Grants benefit Salmon Arm, Sicamous groups Two organizations that provide important social services in the Shuswap are receiving $53,000 from the BC Government’s Community Gaming Grant Program. The Eagle Valley
Community Support Society (Sicamous) received $38,000, while the Salmon Arm 4-H Advisory Council was awarded $15,000 “Whether it’s helping families get through some tough times or
empowering youth to be leaders in the community, these two groups contribute a lot to the Shuswap,” says Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo. “These grants will help them continue to offer services that
help people develop life skills and improve their well-being.” The grants were awarded under the Human and Social Services category of the Community Gaming Grant Program.

Spirited senior set to celebrate 105 years By Barb Brouwer
market news staff
Every morning when Lena Johnston wakes up, she plants her feet on the floor and says, “I am lucky to be here.” Living one day at a time and finding something to appreciate no matter what is going on in her life has carried this tiny, spirited woman through the first 104 years of her life. “I’m still here kicking,” she laughs, noting that her joy may come simply from a nice sunny day. “And nobody likes a grumpy old person.” The sprightly, articulate woman also credits her longevity to her rarin’-to-go attitude and determination to learn something new every day. Johnston moved into Arbor Lodge in September after 76 years of living on the Notch Hill family farm, her husband had found on his second trip to the area. Johnston, her husband, Johnny, and four-year-old son, Roy, came to the Shuswap from Monitor, Alta. in a
CPR boxcar loaded with animals, household items and machinery, a cow, her calf, a couple of horses, some chickens and a few turkeys – only one of which survived the trip. “He turned out to be a gobbler, so we ate him for Christmas,” Johnston laughs of the handy demise of the noisy male bird. Food for the three-day train trip was stashed in the oven of Johnston’s stove, along with their disassembled Bennett wagon. It was the Dirty Thirties and most people were unable to afford gas for their cars so they adapted them to real horse power and named them after Prime Minister R.B. Bennett. “The day we left, it poured rain and I said, ‘My God are we making a mistake?’” Johnston said. “I sure am happy we came to B.C. to live. We may have had to work hard, but it’s compensated itself. There’s been the good and bad, but you get that anywhere.” The Johnstons arrived at the Notch Hill train station late in the afternoon of Aug.
5, 1937 to a completely different world from the prairie dust bowl of the ’30s. “Roy was so happy to get outside and we could smell so many different smells,” says Johnston, recalling that the animals, who were used to wide-open spaces, were fearful of going into the surrounding bush. It was the same feeling of being hemmed in that later had her husband logging the hill above the house. With a flashlight borrowed from the train station, the family made their way to their newly purchased house. “The door was open and Johnny went in, then he came out shouting, ‘My God there’s a red-headed lady sleeping in that bed,’” she laughs. “That still tickles me to this day.” While they were adept at farming, the couple had to learn how to use a cross-cut saw in order to log. “It was all darn hard work, no matter what you did,” Johnston says, noting hand tools were the order of the day. The couple also planted
several fruit trees, her husband declaring, “we’re in a fruit country and we’re gonna grow some of the darn stuff.” Notch Hill Road was the highway in 1937 and Johnston recalls several little grocery stores dotting the area because people didn’t have cars. “Originally, we shipped cream for a while in order to buy sugar, flour, tea and coffee,” says Johnston recalling her efforts to make coffee from soya beans. “I put them in the house to dry then roasted them until they were black. If I didn’t get it right, we would have had to drink it anyhow.” The farm, which is now tended by Roy and his son George, still has cattle and produces hay. She has three grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, many friends and a keen interest in the world around her and getting out into it. A widow for 35 years, Johnston has travelled extensively and would still be on the move if she could get travel insurance. These days, her outings

Her granddaughter Donna and husband George also take her on jaunts. Other than her early morning exercise classes and walks around the block, Johnston likes to read, watch
TV, play cards and do jigsaw puzzles. Known as Granny to many, Johnston, who celebrates her 105th birthday on March 6, reiterates her advice for a long and healthy life: “Don’t feel down in the dumps, live one day at a time and be happy because you’re here to enjoy it.

Hoffman’s Bluff upgrades OK’d By Martha Wickett
MARKET NEWS STAff
Long-requested improvements to the lethal stretch of highway at Hoffman’s Bluff are moving closer to reality. Hoffman’s Bluff, 10 kilometres west of Chase, saw another fatality just this past Monday when a pickup truck and a compact sedan crashed, killing the woman driving the sedan. Moving improvements forward is a vote by the Neskonlith Indian Band that saw about 94 per cent of members favour a land transfer to the provincial Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. In return, the Neskonlith will receive land and other benefits. The ministry’s plans include four-laning and realigning three kilometres through Hoffman’s Bluff, 1.2 kilometres of them within the Neskonlith reserve #2. Although safety has been a concern for the Neskonlith, just as important has been the need to ensure cultural heritage sites are protected. Neskonlith Chief Judy Wilson says the whole highway corridor is seen as the Cradle of the Secwepemc people – a nation of 17 bands
in the south-central area of B.C. “Equally paramount was ensuring ancient burial landforms and village sites were protected, some dating back over 8,000 years old,” said Wilson. “The bands worked collectively on a monument that will be placed near Miner’s Bluff this year to recognize our Secwepemc ancestors and our people who have been here since time immemorial. Our own workers are doing the archaeology, ethnographic studies, and we are learning a lot more about this important corridor which studies indicate is the ‘Cradle of Secwepemc’ peoples.” In 2009 an ancient burial ground was uncovered and, in 2013, an ancient village site. Wilson said a lot of work has gone into involving all band members in the process, work which included contacting members individually by going to their homes as well as holding community information meetings. The concerns of the few who didn’t vote in favour will still be considered, she says. “It’s important that leadership look at all pros and cons so we can

The driver of the Kia, a 25-year-old Enderby woman, died at the scene after her eastbound car spun into the oncoming lane of traffic. The two people in the truck suffered minor injuries. make sure all concerns are addressed.” Overall, “It took a lot of due diligence and care from the collective work of bands and also the ministry of highways.” Most importantly, she says, “we’re the ones having the say and the determination of the site… To have First Nations involved, it certainly sets a precedent.” A press release from the Neskonlith notes that it will be several months before all parties are ready to sign a final agreement. The memorandum of agreement must also be signed by Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada, as well as the federal Department of Justice. “However, with the strong vote of support for the project, the band
council will be working on a short-term permit with the Ministry of Transportation to allow the highway construction project to proceed to tender,” states the Neskonlith release. “Construction on the Hoffman’s Bluff project could begin as soon as late 2014, with an estimated two-year time for completion.” The ministry states that it, too, is pleased the Neskonlith band has voted in support of the land transfer. “This is the direct result of the positive ongoing relationship with Chief Judy Wilson on behalf of the Neskonlith Indian Band. We look forward to building on this important partnership with the Neskonlith Indian Band in the years to come,” states an email to the Observ-

The goal is to produce a realistic strategy to deliver amenities and services that would help improve Chase’s desirability as a place to live for young people.

It will be many months before the court case involving a fatal boat crash on Shuswap Lake goes to trial. On Monday, Feb. 3 in Kamloops court, a date nearly a year away was set for the trial of Leon Michael Reinbrecht of Celista, who stands charged with criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm. The charges were laid following a crash in Magna Bay on July 3, 2010 that left an 18foot Campion Runabout speedboat driven by Reinbrecht fully embedded inside the cabin of a houseboat. The crash killed 53-year-old Kenneth William (Kenny) Brown of Chase, owner and operator of the houseboat, and sent eight other people to hospital. Although a trial date was initially set for September 2013, that date has now been moved to Feb. 2, 2015 in BC Supreme Court in Kamloops. It will be a jury

n A speedboat is visible embedded inside a houseboat in this photo taken in July 2010 following the fatal crash in Magna Bay. trial and court time has been set aside for six weeks. The September date was pushed back to January 2014 in order for the defendant to try to secure legal aid funding. Then, in a court appearance on Nov. 26 in Kamloops, Reinbrecht’s lawyer indicated he would no longer be the defence counsel. Although a start date of Jan. 6, 2014 had been set previously for the trial, the case returned to the courts on Jan. 20. The purpose was to accommodate the appearance of a new defence lawyer.
Crown counsel Don Mann said a pretrial conference will be held between now and the trial date, and jury selection will take place in the first day or two of the trial. “Sometimes it takes that long to schedule a matter, especially of this length,” he said of the February 2015 date. Reinbrecht, in his early fifties, was charged in December 2011 following a 17-month investigation carried out by the Chase RCMP detachment, with the assistance of investigators from Transport Canada and the BC Coroners
Service. The decision regarding charges took 17 months because of the copious quantities of evidence to sift through, police said. During a court appearance in the fall of 2013, Reinbrecht’s former defence lawyer said he might apply to have the charges thrown out because of time delays. If an application under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms were made to drop the charges, both sides would present their arguments and evidence regarding the delays and a judge would be asked to decide.

It was a week with a possible six points in the standings, and the Heat picked up four of them. The race to the finish carries on as 100 Mile, Sicamous and Chase fight for playoff seedings. The Heat remain in third, two points in arrears of 100 Mile with a game in hand. The story of the week started on Tuesday the 4th with the Revelstoke Grizzlies visiting Art Holding Memorial Arena. The Mad Bears got
on the board first but that is all Jake Mattes would allow as he stopped 31 of 32 shots. Cody Koskimaki had a big night with a hat trick, one in each of the three periods. Jordan Passmore had a pair with singles going to Cody Hodges and Connor Venne. The final, 7-1 for the Heat. The Heat travelled to the South Okanagan to take on the Osoyoos Coyotes on Saturday the 8th. The Dogs took a two-goal lead in the 1st, the teams exchanged goals in the second with Alex Durbeniuk doing the damage and, late in the
3rd, Kaleb Boyle popped one in to make it close in a 3-2 road loss. Mattes stopped 41 of 44 shots he faced. Further west the team travelled to Princeton on Sunday the 9th to skate with the Posse on the hard water. Both teams exchanged two goals in the 1st with Venne and Koskimaki scoring for the Heat. In the 2nd, Chase got two goals from Venne for his hat trick and one from Kiefer Schaufler, and then let the Vigilantes back in the game in the 3rd.

Louise Phillips (Laas)
June 5, 1958 - February 18, 2011
When I am gone, release me, let me go. I have so many things to see and do. You must not tie yourself to me with tears. Be happy that we had so many beautiful years. I gave to you my love, you can only guess How much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you’ve shown me, But now it’s time I travel on, alone. So grieve a while for me if you must, Then let your grief be comforted by trust. It’s only for a while that we must part, So bless the memories within your hearts. I won’t be far away, for life goes on. So, if you need me, call and I will come. Though you can’t see or touch me, I’ll be near and if you listen with your hearts, You’ll hear all my love around you, Soft and clear; and then when you must Come this way alone, I’ll greet you with a Smile and say, “Welcome Home.�

Alexander Charles Molnar He was the third son of immigrant parents. Born in Tomasi Hungary, June 23rd 1920; Alex died at the Comox Valley Senior Village, January 15th, 2014; his wife of 72 years, Charlotte, and their 3 sons and family at his bedside. He leaves behind a loving and adoring family; 3 sons Phil (Carol), Charlie (Donna) and Peter (Pauline); six grandchildren, Monique (Glen) Wilford, Janine (Dan) Hutchings, Aaron (Hannah) Molnar, Chris (Zaza) Molnar, Michelle (Scott) Cail, and Meghan Molnar; 9 great grand children, Chase, Keni, Cole, Alex, Luke, Sara, Ryan, Evie and Zael. He was predeceased by parents, Margit and Sandor Molnar, his 3 brothers, Dennis, Les and Adi, his sister, Helen and grandson, Colin. He leaves a multitude of extended family and friends in Canada and around the world. He truly and sincerely left his mark with a powerful sense of duty and love for all he touched to his very last day. After immigrating at age six, life in Canada started with homesteading in Northern Alberta before moving to Kelowna, Oliver and Cloverdale, trying to survive having lost everything in the 30’s. He left school after grade 8 to assist the family to put groceries on the table. With war imminent, he enlisted in the Canadian Army and served overseas. Taken prisoner shortly after D-day, he spent 9 months as a POW enduring the forced march across Germany. On his return to civilian life and to his wife and young son, he quickly finished his matriculation and ultimately earned a Masters Degree in Forest Pathology at UBC. Following a career with the Canadian Forestry Service in Victoria and Ottawa, he and Charlotte retired to Denman Island to be closer to their children and grandchildren. Here they continued their life of service on a volunteer basis in numerous community organizations before moving to Courtenay in 2002, to live out their remaining days. We give our heartfelt thanks to the first floor complex care staff at the Comox Valley Seniors Village along with Dr. Reggler, for the wonderful care and kindness provided to our dad and mom. Alex requested no memorial service, but his children will host a celebration of his life, for family and friends, sometime in late June when family, unable to be here at this time, will be available. In lieu of flowers please donate to your favorite charity in Alex’s name.

the road last week and hope to keep that effort going...” Reeves said having a day off in between the games could work to his team’s advantage when it comes to preparing for the back half of the series. Despite their record, Reeves has respect for the UBCO program. “They work extremely hard and are going to be very physical on the perimeter. They have guards that can force you into mistakes so we will need to take care of the ball.” The WolfPack have had an all-star type season from fourth-year guard Jorri Duxbury of Salmon Arm. She is fifth in assists (3.9 per game), fifth in minutes played (35.2), seventh in steals (2.5 per game), eighth in blocked shots (1.4 per game), 12th in assist/turnover ratio (0.9), 10th in scoring (14.5 points per game and 15th in three-point goals made –1.4 per game).
