Newly elected MP heading to Ottawa Conservatives hold riding: Local Liberals celebrate their party’s national victory. By Richard Rolke

MARKET NEWS STAff

Mel Arnold is hitting the ground running. Arnold, who topped the polls in Monday’s federal election, isn’t sure when he will be sworn in as North Okanagan-Shuswap MP. But that doesn’t mean he isn’t busy. “I have received a call from Ottawa and I will go to Ottawa for orientation and initial meetings as early as next week,” he said. Among the discussions will be hiring staff and setting up riding offices.

“The main office will remain in Vernon and we will have satellite space in Salmon Arm,” said Arnold, adding that he hasn’t determined where the riding office will be in Vernon. While in Ottawa, Mel Arnold Arnold will also investigate housing options for the next four years. “With the distance so far, it will not always be possible to come

home to the riding for a weekend,” he said. “I will need a base if the House is sitting and I am there for weeks at a time.” Justin Trudeau will be sworn in as prime minister Nov. 4. He will also announce his Liberal government cabinet that day. The Liberal victory didn’t include North OkanaganShuswap, but local party members are riding the wave.

Candidate Cindy Derkaz placed second behind Conservative Mel Arnold in the riding, but she is embracing the Liberals’ historic shift from third-place to majority government Monday. “I’m thrilled. I know the country was ready for a change and it’s a great night to be a Liberal,” she said from her Vernon campaign office. “It’s a tremendously clear message that we want change as a country and we picked the Liberals See Conservatives on page 3

NDP pondering what went wrong By Richard Rolke

FREE

Mental Health

SEMINAR

BLACK PRESS

The orange wave was crushed. North OkanaganShuswap New Democrats were dismayed as the party’s coveted official opposition status nationally crumbled in Monday’s election. “It’s a bit disappointing,” said supporter Andrew Stuckey as he watched the numbers on a giant TV screen. “My expectation was the Liberals would do well and take votes from the Conservatives. I thought NDP support was solid.” Stuckey partly blames the NDP’s downfall on the Conservatives’ focus on the niqab leader and Tom Mulcair’s defence of a woman’s right to cover her face. “This was Harper’s last laugh on the NDP. Often when you stand on conscience, you fall.” Party supporter Bob McInnis says voters obviously put their faith

Canada and that’s when local resident Larry Peters knew the NDP were in trouble. “The Maritimes was a shock to me. They (Liberals) swept the whole area,” he said. “They couldn’t elect a Liberal there for decades.” The NDP went from 95 seats before the dissolution of Parliament to 44 nationally Monday night. While disappointed with the outcome, North Okan-

agan-Shuswap candidate Jacqui Gingras is still confident the party will play a key role in Ottawa. “There are people still there doing incredible work and they will be there for Canadians.” Mulcair has indicated that he will not resign as party leader despite the significant loss, and Gingras is pleased to see him stay on board. “I very much respect him,” she said.

Conservatives now the official opposition Continued from front to put that change into effect.” Nationally, the Liberals won 184 seats compared to 99 for the Conservatives, 44 for the NDP, 10 seats for the Bloc Quebecois and one Green. While other parties questioned Justin Trudeau’s ability to be prime minister, Derkaz says they will be proven wrong as Trudeau takes the reins of power. “I always thought Justin was ready, that’s why I threw my life into chaos. He’s an amazing leader,”

Derkaz said. “He’s so inclusive and collaborative and I think that bodes very well. Everybody that will be in caucus will have a voice at that table, I’m confident of that.” While Derkaz was initially in third place in the opinion polls, she overtook NDP challenger Jacqui Gingras, but could not catch the momentum of Conservative Mel Arnold. “You cannot rely on small (polling) samples at a regional level as a prediction of an outcome,” she said of those polls that showed the NDP in first and the Liberals third locally.

On election night, Arnold received 27,490 votes or 39.3 per cent. That was followed by Derkaz at 20,951

or 30 per cent, Gingras at 17,903 or 25.6 per cent, and the Green Party’s Chris George at 3,609 votes or 5.2 per cent.

Okanagan College is confirming Jim Barmby, the regional dean of the college’s Salmon Arm Campus and the Revelstoke Centre, is no longer employed.

“An acting dean has been appointed, Ross Tyner, who will serve until a replacement is recruited,” says Allan Coyle, a spokesperson for the college. Okanagan College staff were informed Wednesday of the

2009 following stints in administration at Thompson Rivers University as well as other post-secondary positions in Alberta. A job posting for the regional dean position is expected to be issued in the near future.

November public meeting to reveal plans for Bruhn Bridge By Lachlan Labere

MARKET NEWS STAFF

A Sicamous resident is concerned the district may get saddled with more than it can afford when it comes to replacing the Bruhn Bridge. While it’s no secret the current municipal council has been in discussion with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure about replacing the 53-year-old structure, named after local pioneer Rolf Walgren Bruhn, specifics have yet to be formally revealed. Mayor Terry Rysz, however, says that time is coming soon. “We are in conversation with MOTI, but the ministry has asked us to keep this in confidence at this stage,” said Rysz. “The one thing they’re trying to align is a public forum somewhere in November so they can announce their intentions in a public gathering.” According to resident and former Sicamous councillor John Schlosar, however, there is what he calls an “almost substantiated rumour” in the community that the ministry has its sights not just on replacing the Bruhn, to meet the province’s goal of four-laning the Trans-Canada Highway from Kamloops to Alberta, but also rebuilding a bridge at the end of Main Street Landing. “It appears MOTI tries to dazzle every new council with a proposal similar to this,” Schlosar explained in an email to the News. “In the past, the offer to Sicamous has been a partnership with a cost-sharing plan; MOTI, the District of Sicamous and even Hyde Mountain on Mara Lake. “Apparently, they offer this time a new bridge at no cost to us, except for ongoing maintenance.” It’s that latter part that’s of particular concern for Schlosar. Having seen proposals for a bridge at Main Street come to council in the past, he says if it is built, Sicamous residents could be facing high long-term

maintenance and replacement costs. “In 1998, annual operating costs were low-balled at $100,000,” said Schlosar. “In today’s dollar you can easily double that. Long-term maintenance and eventual replacement could put this figure over $500,000 annually. Bridges are not cheap.” Schlosar also suggests the new bridge at Main Street would have to be elevated (over the former bridge) to allow for current boat heights. He suggests the slope of the bridge would have to start somewhere between the traffic circle (which would be eliminated) and Shuswap Avenue. Meanwhile, the Main Street Landing park could be replaced by the Main Street property by the roundabout recently purchased by the district for $500,000. As for the Bruhn, Schlosar suggests that with the construction of a bridge at Main Street, the province would be free to either rebuild or four-lane it on their own schedule. “The timing would be up to them for the Bruhn Bridge… but with access to the west side ‘firmed up’ by closing the access from the TransCanada Highway, because the Main street bridge would be in process, they would be free to deal with land acquisitions, rights of way, etc. If Sicamous says no deal to the offer, they would have a much larger scope of those concerns.” The Bruhn Bridge and Old Spallumcheen Road are lumped together among projects the ministry had listed in its transportation and investment plan for 2015. A ministry document from May of this year notes the province was in the procurement stage with the project. While pleased to hear a public meeting is in the works, Schlosar argues, if his sources are correct, the public should have been involved sooner. “These kinds of major changes in the downtown, plus the additional costs, have to be carefully considered and weighed,” said Schlosar.

election creates new dynamics

It was certainly a historic night in Canada. The third-place Liberals swept to a majority during Monday’s federal election while the Conservatives were tossed after a decade in power and the NDP’s hold on official opposition status collapsed. Scholars and pundits will now take weeks, if not years, to analyze the results and what exactly led to such a political shift. However, while that happens, reality is starting to set in. Justin Trudeau and the Liberals made a number of promises during the campaign, including pumping money into infrastructure and keeping deficit spending to just three years. Now that Trudeau can scrutinize the financial books, will those promises be upheld or will they have to evolve, risking upset among voters? Not surprisingly, Stephen Harper announced his resignation as Conservative leader after the party was sent a clear message that its policies were not embraced by many Canadians. What this means is that the party, which is now the official opposition, will go through a leadership race. Will that infuse new energy in the party or will it lead to behindthe-scenes backstabbing and finger-pointing for the electoral loss? Of course the other story of the night was the NDP shrinking from 95 seats to 44. The orange wave orchestrated by the lake Jack Layton in 2011 could not be maintained by Tom Mulcair. Mulcair insists he’s sticking around as leader, but the membership may decide otherwise. Obviously there is a sense of optimism among many Canadians after Monday’s election, and the call for real change provides promise. However, once the campaign signs are down and the photo-ops are over, what is the future awaiting the parties and Canadians? -Vernon Morning Star

OpiniOn

Published by Black Press Ltd. 171 Shuswap Street NW, Salmon Arm, B.C.

Looking for repeal of legislation Now that all the election promises have been made, the votes have been cast, the people have had their say and a new federal government is about to take over in Ottawa, it will be interesting to see just what this new (Liberal) government plans on doing about the environment – especially some of the environmental changes made by the previous (Conservative) government. One can only wonder what can and cannot be undone. The Liberal Party platform has taken a strong stance when it comes to environmental issues, the war on science, the use of fossil fuels and global warming/ climate change. In addition to unmuzzling scientists, the Liberals have stated that they also want to work collaboratively with the provinces, First Nations and other stakeholders when it comes to ocean management. Although the Liberal Party doesn’t have a specific plan yet, the party has promised “to establish a new climate change framework by February 2016 that

The GreaT OuTdOOrs James Murray includes an eventual phase out of fossil fuel subsidies. The plan will also include investment in climate resilience, clean technology and low-carbon infrastructure.” They have also promised to “establish new, credible reviews for proposed development that are comprehensive, consider full and cumulative impacts, including upstream impacts like development in the oil sands, as well as greenhouse gas emissions.” However, actions speak louder than words and we shall see what comes to fruition. At times it seemed as though the previous Conservative government was determined to eliminate

pretty well any and all protection of the environment. Much of this was accomplished through the inclusion of changes to acts (designed to protect the environment) that were buried deep within the bowels of the omnibus bills which had to be passed in their entirety. A perfect example of this were amendments and changes to the Navigable Waters Protection Act – introduced and passed under the guise of rescuing the economy. The Navigable Waters Protection Act (NWPA), Chapter N-22, is a federal law designed to protect the public’s right of navigation in Canadian waters, as defined by the law, by prohibiting the building, placing or maintaining of any work whatsoever in, on, over, under, through or across any such navigable water, without the authorization of the Minister of Transport Canada. In amending the act, not only was the government attempting to eliminate the public’s navigational rights on thousands of waterways

across Canada, they were also eliminating such things as any obligation on the part of industry and developers to consider the impact any new project may have on navigable waterways when building such things as roads, bridges, causeways, dams, or any other invasive structures on, through, and/ or around the waters they may cross, cause to change, or affect. The government (Transport Canada) tried to achieve this by exempting the phrases “minor waters” and “minor works” from the Navigable Waters Protection Act and, by redefining the word “navigation” under the act in a way that would strip all legal protection from recreational navigation. The rewriting of the Navigable Waterways Protection Act was a direct assault on Canada’s tradition of river travel and the future of our waterways, by the same people who were supposed to protect both. What will our new Liberal government do to undo what the previous government has done?

I believe a country divided will fail, you need only look around to see that. Your vote has been cast. Now please I urge, I beg, I plead, let’s stop the hate and pointing fingers. Let’s thank Harper for taking on a job few of us would be

Thank him for the sleepless nights he endured while making decisions that could alter the entire future of a country (while we slept peacefully with no thought or even awareness to the issue). Thank him for putting his very life in danger as he traveled the globe to keep, and bring, peace and prosperity to the present and future Canada. Thank you Stephen Harper for your passion, your love,

your service and your sacrifice for this beautiful country. Mr. Trudeau, I pray that your shoulders are strong enough to bear the weight of an entire nation. That your perspective be broad enough to see beyond any personal pride or gain you may have. That you would seek our country’s best interests.

Meals an opportunity to share cultures

Serena Caner Recently, I was sent an invitation to an international conference on halal food titled, “Halal food: a border that does not divide.” Halal food is a designation meaning that a food or drink is permissible for Muslims. It is similar to the “kosher” designation in Judaism. The intention of the conference was to find common ground between potentially clashing sects of Islam. While the conference is taking place in Italy and not accessible to

In today’s “global village,” it is more important than ever to understand different perspectives and balance our views on what is going on in the world. Food provides a common language. Trying new ethnic foods is an easy and fun way to expose ourselves and our families to different cultures and ways of doing things. I have eaten pumpkin and squash my whole life and it wasn’t until I went to Malawi that I learnt how to prepare the leaves for eating too. I have never been to India, but Vij’s cookbook has provided me with enough information to know that I need more Indian friends! While Salmon Arm does not have the ethnic diversity of some larger metropolitan areas, it does offer opportunities to try restaurants from coun-

me, the idea was inspiring. What better s way than delicious food to get different people to sit down around a table together and talk? The mutual appreciation of food can be a point of connection between cultures. In fact, appreciating food might be our easiest first step in accepting and understanding different people from around the world. I may not be able to relate to the hardships experienced by the Secwepemc people over the past 200 years, but I can share their love of sockeye salmon cooked over an open fire; or the joy of eating fresh huckleberries on a hot summer day. This sharing could provide an entry point into a conversation about protecting our waterways or concerns about the Keystone pipeline.

CSRD requests funding Governance: Study could get underway in 2016. By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAff

It’s a matter of balance and representation. The residents of Area C South Shuswap in the Columbia Shuswap Regional District have long local questioned governance. At their Oct. 15 board meeting, directors were unanimous in their support of an application to the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development for $50,000 to help offset the cost of a governance study. Despite having almost 14 times the population of Area B Rural Revelstoke at 552, according to the 2011 census, South Shuswap with 7,662 residents gets only one representative on the regional district board. While the possible incorporation of Sorrento has been discussed before, South Shuswap director Paul Demenok is quick to point out the request for funding is for a study that will include the entire 601 square please fill

kilometre electoral area. “The rationale is that Area C is disproportionately large in terms of population and is underrepresented at the board table,” he says. “Area C has more than 10 times the population of Area B but we have the same vote.” Demenok says he and CSRD chair Rhona Martin met with Peter Fassbender, minister of Community Sport and Cultural Development at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) in September. He says it was a positive meeting and the regional district was advised to apply for the funding to review governance and lay out options. “There are a number of options – remaining in the status quo, subdividing Area C into smaller areas or incorporation of part or all of Area C,” Demenok says. “A recommendation will be made by a governance committee of residents to the ministry upon completion of the study.”

In order to send a request for funding to Fassbender, Demenok first needed to get a board resolution supporting the governance study. In his report to the CSRD board, chief administrative officer Charles Hamilton pointed out the question of governance in the Sorrento community has been an important to area residents dating back to 1990, with letters being exchanged between the CSRD and the ministry on the topic of an incorporation feasibility study for the Sorrento community. “Until recently, the scope of the incorporation study focused solely on Sorrento,” wrote Hamilton in his report to the board. “However, the area director has indicated it would be more appropriate to examine governance issues for a broader area, particularly in view of the fact that Sorrento has little or no industry or commercial operations.” Directors agreed unanimously to sup-

port Hamilton’s recommendations to undertake a governance study and the draft terms of reference that have been developed to guide the study process. Demenok says the process will take quite a period of time and will include “substantial community engagement and consultation.” He says his guess is that the process would begin sometime in 2016. The process involves retaining a qualified consultant to carry out the governance analysis as well as the public consultation. The budget estimate is $50,000 for the study, $10,000 for advertising, consultation, consultant travel and other miscellaneous costs, and $5,000 for meeting expenses.

CSRD: Reimbursement added for two meetings per day.

Chad Eliason Area C South Shuswap director Paul Demenok was opposed to amending the bylaw. “I am not sure it’s a great idea to move forward with a patchwork approach,” he said. “I want an independent review; I don’t think it’s that highly urgent.” Parker, however, said the amending the bylaw to deal with the meeting issue was easy and should be addressed immediately. “It needs to be fixed and we need to get on with having the next

process fit into the next budget,” she said. “I’ll be voting against it; I think it shouldn’t be coming to this board without directors being aware of all the details at this table and with all the players voting on it,” said Eliason of discussion that took place at the EAD meeting. “I don’t like the process that was followed.” Also opposed was Golden Coun. Caleb Moss. “One of the things I find quite interesting is we spent eight minutes on policy review and we’ve already spent 15 on remuneration.” Undeterred, Parker made a motion to amend the current bylaw, Morgan seconded it and the majority of the board voted in favour. Demenok, Eliason and Moss opposed the motion. Staff will bring forward a bylaw amendment that says schedule B meetings will not be limited to one a day, but will be limited to the maximum stipend of a schedule A meeting, which is $190. Directors are paid $60 for schedule B meetings.

electoral area directors they might not like the outcome. “They may eliminate things like travel,” he said, noting that when Salmon Arm councillors were given a pay raise, it was for the next council, so they weren’t giving themselves a raise. “When politicians talk about giving themselves a raise it’s a touchy subject.”

LAURA LAVIGNE

Columbia Shuswap Regional District electoral area directors will be getting paid more to attend some meetings sooner rather than later. Discussed at a July 29 Electoral Area Directors (EAD) meeting, the issue was brought back to the board last week, where directors unanimously agreed to an independent remuneration review. But funding for the review will have to be included in the 2016 budget and, if approved in budget talks, will not be available until after March 31 next year. This did not sit well with Area B Rural Revelstoke director Loni Parker and Area F North Shuswap director Larry Morgan, who pushed for an amendment to the current bylaw to permit payment for attending more than one Schedule B meeting a day. “There is an inherent flaw, if you will, in that schedule B meetings (airport, tourism, Shuswap Emergency Program and economic development) are typically half-day meetings and are limited to one a day,” says CSRD manager of finance Jodi Pierce. “What happens is some of the

directors would attend a tourism meeting in the morning and economic development in the afternoon because they pay into both services. But some only attend tourism because they have their own economic development – and everyone is being paid the same.” Pierce says at the October EAD meeting, electoral area directors had a discussion about a more comprehensive evaluation to contrast how municipal and rural directors should be compensated, specifically comparisons with other regional districts and comparison of pay between municipal and electoral area directors in terms of workload. Pierce provided spreadsheets showing remuneration for 10 other regional districts in B.C., but did not talk to staff about in-depth information. “On the face of it, based on the summary, they (CSRD directors) are well-paid comparatively speaking,” says Pierce. “For example, annual remuneration for the chair ranges from $6,300 to $55,200, but I don’t know if they get additional remuneration for travel.” Salmon Arm director Chad Eliason supported the independent review but cautioned

3 reasons why reading is important for kids (NC) Despite the proliferation of high tech mobile devices, tablets and laptops, the benefits of simply reading a book endure. Fostering a love of reading among children has long-term pay-offs. It teaches them new values and lessons, exercises concentration skills, and even helps them learn new vocabulary or different ways to phrase a thought. The National Reading Campaign, organized by readers, writers, publishers, educators and others focused on creating a society of lifelong readers,

reports some of the top reasons why reading is so important: • Readers have better physical health, mental health and empathy. • Reading for just six minutes can reduce stress by as much as 60 per cent, slow your heart beat, ease muscle tension and alter your state of mind. • Reading has better stress-reduction outcomes than playing video games, drinking tea, listening to music or even going for a walk. Reading is important on many levels. So teachers across the country work

with innovative approaches to ensure every student is equipped with, not just reading skills, but a love of reading that will last a lifetime. “As students get older, it can become more challenging to keep them engaged in reading,” says North Vancouver elementary teacher Mrs. Harris. Providing realistic content helps. For high school students with learning disabilities, integrating familiar technology assists with repetition exercises to boost reading. Not all teachers who

want to implement this love of reading for their students have access to the resources and technology necessary to do so. To create a meaningful learning experience for their students, teachers can post their projects with MyClassNeeds, a charitable crowd-funding organization that supports publicly funded schools across Canada. More information about the MyClassNeeds program and how Canadians can contribute to a widespread love of reading is available at www.myclassneeds.ca.

Top tips to avoid coughs and colds at school (NC) With kids back to their regular routine of school and extracurricular activities, families often struggle to keep everyone healthy during the dreaded cough and cold season. Here are a few tips to keep your kids germ-free: • Start off with getting a good night’s sleep. Take cues from physical signs of sleepiness (yawning, difficulty focusing your eyes, a lack of concentration), indicating that it’s time to go to bed. • Be active as often as possible. Make exercise a priority for both you and your family’s physiological and psychological health. For parents and children who stay active it’s common, to experience some post exercise pain or even injury. When injuries or pain occur, try relieving muscle pain by applying a topical like Arnicare Gel. The gel, which contains arnica montana and other medicinal ingredients, temporarily relieves muscle pain and reduces swelling and bruising. • Adopt healthy eating habits to feel better, naturally. As you get your children ready for school, make a

fresh start with healthy foods to nourish their brains and help them grow. • The fall means the start of the cold season. Look for a homeopathic medicine such as Coryzalia to relieve cold symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose and

acute rhinitis in children ages one month and up and adults alike. • Nasal and skin irritations often accompany runny noses and congestion. Cicadermine is a homeopathic, antibioticfree solution, to soothe skin

and facilitate healing of irritations, such as chapped skin, superficial wounds and redness from constant wiping and blowing. • When stubborn coughs arise, many parents think that they are out of treatment options for their younger children. But there is a solution available to relieve coughs in children under six. Stodal is a homeopathic honey-based cough syrup used to effectively relieve both dry and wet coughs in children from one to 11 years of age. Keep in mind, these homeopathic medicines may not be right for everyone, always read and follow the label. To help parents survive the cough and cold season, the experts at Boiron have developed the “Homeopathic Medicine Finder” App, which helps users quickly and efficiently find the most appropriate homeopathic medicines to relieve symptoms from joint pain, insect bites, stress, colds and flu. You can find the recommended solution, its indication and dosage, coupons and store locations. The app is available at www. boiron.ca/app.

Canadian Cancer Society honours helpers By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Four people who epitomize Salmon Arm’s reputation as a caring community were recognized for their efforts Saturday. Rick Hirtle and The Dies Guys – Lew, Jacob and Noah Dies received awards from the Canadian Cancer Society at an event held at the Podollan Inn. Mayor Nancy Cooper presented a Volunteer Achievement Certificate to Rick Hirtle. A cancer survivor, Hirtle has volunteered with the local Cancer Society for six years as a Cancer Connection Volunteer and mentor, and has been an inspiration for Relay for Life, says Brenda Kurtz, Canadian Cancer Society volunteer. “Rick Hirtle has demonstrated excellence in volunteerism on two fronts. He became a Cancer Connection vol-

unteer in 2008 and continues to interact with great care and compassion with others diagnosed with melanoma,” notes the nomination package. “Rick also shares his knowledge and enthusiasm with participants at Relay for Life by offering his tricks of the trade for successful fundraising.” Hirtle has not missed a Relay and has been top fundraiser for the event for several years. Last year he far surpassed his $15,000 goal. Jen Dies, local coordinator of the Cancer Society’s Community Giving has help from her family, who also received volunteer achievement certificates on Saturday. Husband Lew and sons Jacob and Noah have been volunteers for Relay for Life since 2008. Their first job was to ready the survivor building, assisting Jen in her endeavours as survivor chair.

They cleaned and painted and, when they knew that one of the participants was nonambulatory, they even built a ramp into the building. They also recruited friends to help, and to join their relay team. Their jobs have expanded since then, so that they are big parts of the logistics crew. For some time now they have been responsible for putting up all of the “twinkle” lights, they continue to clean and tidy, they decorate, they do any job that needs to be done, and in a capable manner.

“Our RFL committee relies on Lew’s input for many things, knowing that if it can be done, Lew can do it. He is always positive and accommodating, and he will work until everything is done,” says Kurtz. “The boys are excellent role models and leaders. Each year they successfully field a team of their friends, and it is obvious that they all enjoy participating.” From planning, to kick-off, to painting the street, to the Relay itself, to take down, they are totally involved.

Students to advise school district The school district will be hearing from those it serves – the students themselves. This year, the school district has created a District Student Leadership Team, which will be comprised of

four secondary students from throughout the district. “They will bring issues of concern to the school district, from their perspective,” said Superintendent Glenn Borthistle, who noted

a similar structure had been previously implemented in the school district, but had waned in recent years. “It will provide a voice to our students on matters of concern to them,” he said.

n The Chase Heat and Osoyoos Coyotes squared off Saturday, Oct. 17 in Chase. With both teams losing the night prior, neither team wanted to face the same fate again. Chase Heat goalie Nic Bruyere kicks out the pad denying the KIJHL league’s leading point scorer Rainer Glimpel any chance at a goal, sending the puck into the corner. Bruyere would be named the home star of the game after stopping 39 of the 40 shots he faced on the night, helping the Heat win yet another home game by a final score of 2-1 over the Coyotes.

Jekyll and Hyde weekend By Scott Koch

MARKET NEWS STAFF

In a nutshell, the past pair of games for the Chase Heat could be summed up as a Jekyll and Hyde weekend. From a flat loss fishing for points down the lake, to a virtuoso performance in the local concert hall, the mood of fans went from dismay to ecstacy. The boys hopped on the bus on Friday the 16th and trundled down #1 to Shea Weber Drive, the site where the Sicamous Eagles play shinny. Now life is a game of hard knocks and, in hockey, it’s best to expect the unexpected. On this date and time perhaps that explains the result. The Heat were able to shift into a higher gear once or twice during the contest – the

opening goal in the 2nd on the powerplay off the stick of Kolten Moore assisted by Travis Beaubien and Trevor Okino. In the 3rd, the soaring Eagles popped a pair including one on the powerplay to take a 2-1 much-needed victory. Nic Bruyere backstopped the Heat, stopping 35 of 37 to keep his lack of friends in this one to the bitter end. The Eagles got a breath of fresh air while the Heat had a case of bad breath. On Saturday the 17th, the well-rested local side hosted the talented and quick desert dogs from Osoyoos. The Coyotes had also experienced that loving losing feeling the previous evening at the hands of the 100 Mile House Wranglers. This classic contest

in the eyes of many was the best shinny shakedown of the season, holding the fans silent and on the edges of their seats. In the 1st, Osoyoos dominated and scored the first goal prior to Braden Hughes evening things up on the powerplay from Moore and Okino. In the 2nd, Spencer Farstad scored a trickler that won the race from Pat Brady and Coleton Johnson. From there it was zippedy-do as the Heat held the fort for a welldeserved 2-1 victory. The star of the weekend was clear, as Bruyere in goal once again gave a virtuoso performance stopping 39 of 40.

Looking forward to coming up with new Pin Chatter for you in my next column! Cheers bowlers!

Bedroom farce a winner By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Shuswap Theatre has scored a hit with Canadian playwright Norm Foster’s Bedtime Stories. Directed by Paul Kirkwood-Hackett, the hilarious play features 15 characters, five actors and one bed. From a clumsily inept stripper to sleazy radio shock jock Eddie Nighthawk Nichols, a shy middle-aged couple, their wild-child teen, an aging rock star, a man meeting an unrequited love and a pair of thieves, underneath they share a commonality – they are looking for love and acceptance. Trying to move up to a more prestigious radio station, Eddie Nighthawk pays a couple $5,000 to make love on the air. The results are hilarious, as are several other scenes. Laughter is tempered with poignant moments – a woman visits a dying man she spurned years ago. Two thieves discover a shocking secret. An aging rock star is confronted by a groupie. Like Russian nesting dolls, each scene uncovers another surprise, all of which are

EVAN BUHLER/MARKET NEWS

■ Mike Nash, Randy Brogden and Laura Noakes perform the first scene from the play Bedtime Stories on opening night at the Shuswap Theatre on Friday, Oct. 16. wrapped up beautifully in the final scene. This is one of the better productions to appear on the Shuswap Theatre stage – something that has been happening over the past couple of years. Longtime theatre volunteer Randy Brogden began behind the scenes and continues to provide incredible support in building fabulous sets. He has appeared and grown in many productions and is hysterical in his portrayal of three characters. Laura Noakes is equally hilarious as three very different characters, as is Mike Nash as Nighthawk, Nick and Charlie.

Newcomers to Shuswap Theatre but not to fine acting, Dave Wolkowski and Astrid Varnes are welcome additions to the local stage. Varnes trained as an actor at UBC and has a masters in applied theatre from UVic. She leads the seniors’ theatre group and teaches acting in the community. She adapts well and with hilarity to her characters, be it a selfabsorbed woman in a loveless marriage to an aggressive fan. Wolkowski also brings acting acumen, having been involved in numerous theatre, film and television projects over the past 20 years in Edmonton.

There is no room to list all the talented members of the crew behind the scenes but K i r k wo o d - H a c ke t t sums it up well in his director’s notes: “Thanks to my wonderfully talented cast and crew for all their hard work in bringing their characters to life,” he says. “To my technical crew and backstage crew – you guys are the best.” Bedtime Stories runs at 7:30 p.m. to Oct. 31. Sunday performances take place at 1:30 p.m. Tickets are available at Intwined Fibre Arts on Hudson Avenue. For more information, or to buy tickets online, visit www.shuswaptheatre. com.

Helping your child ‘fall back’ Daylight Savings Time ends on Nov. 1 this year, bringing a glorious hour of extra sleep. Unless you’re a parent. Setting the clocks back can disrupt a child’s circadian rhythm, resulting in earlier mornings, crankiness, and exhaustion by dinner time. So how should parents of babies and small children navigate the time change? Here is what I recommend: Prepare for Success First, leave the clocks alone until everyone is up for the day. It can be very frustrating to see your children up an hour earlier than normal. Just get up at your usual time, have a cup of coffee and some breakfast, then go around changing the clocks. “Split the Difference” for naps and bedtime On Nov. 1-3, put your children to bed 30 minutes earlier than usual. This will feel like 30 minutes later, so be prepared for some extra tiredness. It may be a push, but it won’t be so dramatic as to damage their schedule. Examples: If first nap is at 10 a.m., put them down at 9:30 for three days. If bedtime is 7 p.m., it will now be 7:30 p.m. for three days. On the fourth day move back to normal naps and bedtime. Starting Nov. 2, gradually delay morning wake-ups For older toddlers and small children try putting a digital clock in

their room with the minutes covered. Teach them that they need to stay in bed until they see the “7” and set the time on the clock later each day. Another option many of my clients have success with is using a “sleep clock” such as the Gro Clock. These light up at your preset morning time. For babies, you will need to take a more gradual approach with mornings. On the first morning after the time change (Nov. 2) you don’t want to rush in and confirm that 5:30 is now a great time to get up. Allow them to babble/fuss for 10 minutes, then get them up and start their day with bright light, cheerfulness and activity. On the second morning, wait up to 20 minutes past their old wake-up time. On the third morning, wait 30 minutes, and so on for a week. By the end of the week, your baby’s schedule should be adjusted and they should be waking up at their usual time again. Our bodies require roughly one week to adjust to any change in sleep habits, so be patient and give your children time to make the shift. Within a few days their sleep will be on track, your mornings will be back to normal, and you’ll all be sleeping better. -Jillian Christjansen, RN, BSN is an infant and child sleep consultant.

Independent shops contribute to the fabric of a community and what makes it special and unique. Tourists and other visitors will be much more inclined to remember a local shop rather than a big chain in a particular neighborhood.

Bruce Smith was born on November 17th, 1928 in Hespler, Ontario to William ‘Bill’ Smith (1906-1994) and Grace Falle (1907-2005), the eldest of eight siblings. A whimsical man of remarkable joviality, Bruce had a playful penchant toward joking and socializing. When not engaged in communal activities, he was more often than not enjoying nature – what he saw as God’s beautiful creation. He could often be found hiking and taking walks through parks, in forests, or alongside rivers. A great lover of music, Bruce sang baritone in a gospel quartet, with his father and two friends, called “The Master’s Men.” He also played double bass for the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony Orchestra, and toured locally with some of his siblings as a musical group, “The Smith Family.” He worked for many years in construction, but it was his work as a Sunday school teacher that brought him the most joy. His father, his mother, and sister Ruth predecease him. Bruce leaves behind his wife of 63 years, Joan Smith, his son Robert Smith (Ann), his grandchildren Jason Smith (Tanya) and Adam Smith, and his six remaining siblings: Ross, Betty, Paul, Mary-Esther, Jack, and Dorothy-Ann. The family would like to thank the able and compassionate care offered by Dr. Beech, and the Hillside and Bastion care facilities. And, if you are so inclined, please take time to listen to Bruce’s favourite gospel song, Stuart Hamblen’s “It is No Secret What God Can Do.”

INGLIS, BRIAN 1944 – 2015 Brian left us suddenly, but peacefully on October 17th at Shuswap Lake General Hospital after a short battle with cancer. He is survived by Susan, his wife of 41 years, daughters Erin and Kelly, brother Sherwood (Cindy), sister Heather Stewardson (Stan), nieces Shannon, Amber and April, nephews James, Kiki and Kevin as well as close family friends Krystal and Deakyn and Andrew. He was predeceased by his parents Florence and Walter. In recent years Brian operated a small landscaping/ snow removal business, spent several years working in silviculture around BC, including Haida Gwaii. He worked as Specialty Gas Supervisor at Medigas in Burnaby and as a student, worked summers around Terrace on fire suppression teams for Canadian Cellulose. Brian travelled to the UK on three occasions: once with his parents and brother; twice with Sue’s family. He even considered flying as a career and trained in Nevada. During the Sixties and Seventies, after graduation and grade 13 at Salmon Arm High School, Brian studied in the faculty of Education at UBC, majoring in biology and PE, and then switched to Science and Wildlife Management. Science was always a passion, along with politics and sports, where he participated in soccer, hockey, fastball and gymnastics. He also enjoyed outdoor activities including hunting, competitive shooting and photography. We sincerely thank the attending paramedics, nurses and physicians at SLGH and especially Dr. Clay Welder for his support. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the charity of your choice. Finally, we invite family, old friends from the Salmon Arm Legion and many others to a Celebration of Life to be held on Sunday, October 25th at 2:00 p.m., at Mt. Ida Hall (Harmonious Homestead), located at 5421 70th St. SW. Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd. (250) 833-1129.

Obituaries

ACKERMAN, WAYNE ROBERT December 26, 1938 â€“ October 1, 2015 Wayne Robert Ackerman passed away peacefully on October 1, 2015. Wayne was born to Elizabeth Helen Cumming and Robert Edward Ackerman on December 26, 1938 in Rorketon, MB. In 1946 the family moved to Canoe, BC, where Dad and his two surviving brothers, Rae and Ted, grew up and had many adventures on the small family farm. In 1960, Wayne married his high school sweetheart Margaret Schulz; they were married for 21 years. After getting married, Wayne went on to become a successful Chartered Accountant. His career took him briefly to Kamloops and Williams Lake before settling in Prince George in 1964. He later moved to Vanderhoof, where he retired in 1996. In 1997, for outstanding career achievements as well as outstanding service to the community and the profession, Wayne was awarded the designation of Fellow Chartered Accountant, an honour of which he was extremely proud. Wayne and Marg had two children, Derek (1963) and Paige (1967). Derek and his wife Julie had two children, Troy and Kendra. He had to settle for grandcats from Paige and her husband Kirk who live in North Vancouver, BC. In 2006, Wayne moved to Cranbrook to be closer to family. Over the years, Wayne volunteered countless hours of his time to Kiwanis, Rotary, and Ducks Unlimited. Wayne enjoyed travel, fishing, and watching the geese and other birds on the river, from his front yard in Vanderhoof. He also took it upon himself to adopt, feed, and care for, feral cats that took up residence on his property, naming each and enjoying their aloof companionship. Helping others, human or animal, was always a high priority; all who knew him will miss his gentle kindness, honesty, and generosity. Wayneâ€™s family would like to extend special gratitude to the staff at Joseph Creek Care Village for their exceptional level of care during the past four years. Memorial donations are unnecessary, but may be given in Wayneâ€™s honour to a reputable charity of your choice in lieu of flowers.Â An informal gathering to celebrate Wayneâ€™s life will be held at Burrard Yacht Club, 10 Gostick Place, North Vancouver, on Friday, November 6th from 2:00 pm â€“ 5:00 pm. Please join us to share your experiences, anecdotes, and any stories of the times you spent with our Dad. If you are unable to attend, please remember our Dad by raising a glass to him, or paying someone a kindness on his behalf. Please feel free to share any cherished thoughts or memories of Dad with us by email to derek. ackerman@shaw.ca or paige_ackerman@me.com. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.

ARTHUR (ART) JOHN PODRUZNY It is with great sadness that we announce Arthur (Art) John Podruzny,Â 61, ofÂ Tappen BC, passed away onÂ October 13, 2015. Art died peacefully in Kelowna General Hospital with his loving family by his side. The funeral service was held atÂ 11:00 am on October 17, 2015 at Bowers Funeral Home. Art was born inÂ Sexsmith, AlbertaÂ onÂ September 24, 1954. He graduated from school in Wanham, Alberta in 1972 and in 1973 married his high school sweetheart Debra (Debi) Jean Podruzny (Zahara). They were married for 42 years during which time they had four children which he referred to as his â€œprecious jewelsâ€?, until his nine grandchildren came along and stole his heart. Art was a skilled athlete and was involved in all sports growing up but where he truly excelled was in baseball and curling. In the last few years of his life Art became quite interested in gardening and could often be found sitting outside in â€œgrandpaâ€™s gardenâ€?. ArtÂ worked at P&GÂ forÂ five years until he was finally able to start his dream of farming full time in 1978. He happily stayed there for the next nine years until he made the move to BC. Art and his family took over the Tappen Esso in the summer of 1987 and have been there for the last 28 years. ArtÂ is survived byÂ his wife Debi Podruzny, children Crystal (Dave) Belway, Nicole Podruzny, Aimee (Jeff) Rampersad and Ryan (Linsday) Podruzny, grandchildren Jeffrey Van Den Biggelaar-Podruzny, Maya Belway, Trina Podruzny, Chaselynn WhitePodruzny, Callie Belway, Tavian Podruzny, Jocelyn Podruzny, Eberley Rampersad and Mahla Rampersad, brothers Robert (Edna) Podruzny and Brian (Edith) Podruzny, and other family and friends. ArtÂ is predeceased byÂ his parents John and Grace Podruzny. The family ofÂ Arthur John PodruznyÂ wishes to thankÂ the nurses in the Kelowna General Hospital ICU for their kind and respectful care of Art in his last days and the support they provided to his family.

Burkina Faso: the eighth coup fails

GLOBAL VIEWS Gwynne Dyer The dust has settled in Ouagadougou, Africa’s capital of military coups (seven in 65 years), and the elections in Burkina Faso have been rescheduled for the end of next month. Don’t be cynical about it; that is real progress. Burkina Faso, a landlocked country in West Africa, competes with Somalia for the honour of being Africa’s poorest country. You might wonder why anybody would want the thankless job of running such a place, but political power means access to scarce resources (like money) even in the poorest countries. Especially if you are in the army. What would have been the country’s eighth coup (if it had succeeded) began in mid-September when General Gilbert Diendere, the head of the Presidential Guard, seized and imprisoned the interim president and prime minister. He was doing it, he said, because the party of the last president, Blaise Compaore, had been banned from running in the election. Compaore, a former soldier who first came to power in a coup himself, was ousted

by popular demonstrations last year when he tried to run for the presidency yet again after 27 years in power. Diendere had been his closest associate for all of that time, and everybody assumed that his coup was really a bid by Compaore to return to power. Everybody was right, although if the coup succeeded Diedere might have decided to stay in power himself. When the demonstrators who had forced Compaore out of power last year came out on the streets again, Diendere’s troops hosed them down with automatic weapons fire, killing fourteen and wounding hundreds. It was not the mob but the institutions that thwarted his ambitions. The coup was instantly condemned by the African Union. “The AU considers the announcement by the military of the ‘dismissal’ of (interim) President Michel Kafando and the attempt of substituting him with ‘new authorities’ as null and void,” said the AU chairperson, South Africa’s Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma. The regional organization, the Economic Community for West African States (Ecowas), took a softer line, putting together a mediation team and offering the coup leaders amnesty despite the killings. But when civil society groups in Burkina Faso protested at the amnesty offer, the Nigerian president, Muhammadu Buhari,

took the lead for West Africa. Buhari, who was a military dictator 30 years ago, coming to power in one coup and losing it in another, now describes himself as a “converted democrat.” He called Diendere’s coup a “brazen contravention” of Burkina Faso’s constitution and demanded that he withdraw. And Burkina Faso’s army, which had always resented the special privileges of the Presidential Guard, moved into the capital and told

“It is the rule of law that gradually shrinks corruption and gives people a reason to invest in their future, and you can’t have the rule of law without democracy.” Diendere to surrender. So he did, although there was a bit of shooting first. Now Diendere is under arrest facing eleven charges including “crimes against humanity,” the Presidential Guard has been disarmed and formally disbanded, and the election is back on again for Nov. 29. The election will not solve all of Burkina Faso’s problems, but democracy might do it eventually. The country still has the lowest literacy rate in the world, it is still dirt poor and the population (now 17 million) is still doubling every 25 years.

But one thing has definitely changed for the better. Most Burkinabes may be illiterate, but they have become aware of their rights and no longer accept the dictates of armed thugs in uniform without question. African institutions have changed too, and no longer turn a blind eye when a member country faces a military coup. They intervene promptly and decisively, and they generally succeed. They are less good at dealing with countries where dictators hold regular elections whose outcomes they control through bribery, a monopoly of the mass media or just plain police-state terror, like Sudan, Zimbabwe and Ethiopia. But more than half of the continent’s 50 countries are now more-orless functional (though still quite corrupt) democracies. The real value of democracy is that it requires the rule of law, which is the most important thing you need in order for economic growth to benefit people outside the political and business elite. People just won’t bother to invest and work hard if they know the proceeds are likely to be stolen. The rule of law is never complete – even in the most developed countries, there is often one law for the rich and another for the poor – but the closer you get to the ideal, the better your growth will be. People often miss this, thinking only in terms

of human rights, and arguing that the economy, not democracy, must be the first priority for poor countries. They are wrong. It is the rule of law that gradually shrinks corruption and gives people a reason to invest in their future, and you can’t have the rule of law without democracy. Burkina Faso is heading in the right direction, and so is Africa.
