Triplets make early appearance By Tracy Hughes

markEt nEws staff

With one delivery, Salmon Arm gained three additions to its population. Identical triplets Hannah Marie, Rileigh Faith and Isabelle Grace Meeuwsen were delivered by cesarean section at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops on Tuesday, Nov. 3. Salmon Arm’s Mahalia and Mike Meeuwsen are the proud parents of the identical triplets. Doctors

say this type of birth only happens once in every 50 million pregnancies. While doctors were hoping to do a C-section Nov. 16, complications with the pregnancy resulted in the decision to proceed with the delivery. Mom and all three babies, who were born at approximately eight weeks premature, are said to be doing well. At birth, Hannah, the first baby delivered, was three pounds two ounces, middle sister Rileigh was three

pounds nine ounces and Isabelle was three pounds two ounces. The three infants are being cared for in the neonatal intensive care unit at Royal Inland Hospital and will likely remain there for some time. After years of dealing with infertility and the Meeuwsens eventually giving up on their dream of ever becoming parents, the triplets were conceived naturally without the use of fertility drugs.

Fire destroys truck stop By Lachlan Labere

MARKET NEWS STAff

No one was injured in a dramatic fire at a Craigellachie landmark on Monday morning. The Skyline Truck Stop, a popular hub among locals and travellers alike, burned down Monday, Nov. 2. Low lying cloud in the mountains of the Eagle Pass contrasted with the thick black smoke that filled the air Monday morning as firefighters engaged in a battle to contain the fire at the service station/convenience store/ restaurant on the TransCanada Highway near the North Fork Bridge. Firefighters were paged to the scene shortly after 9 a.m., with Malakwa firefighters arriving soon after. “A crew of mine was on scene by 9:29, and at that point there was already heavy black smoke emitting from the roof,” said Malakwa Fire Chief Joanne Held, noting a call was immediately made for mutual aid from the Sicamous and Swansea Point fire departments. Firefighters didn’t enter the building until mutual aid arrived. Held said she arrived on the scene about an hour later. Sizing up the

situation, she immediately ordered firefighters out of the building. At this point, it was evident the structure couldn’t be saved. “Every fire is different and it’s hard to predict what it’s going to do and every 30 seconds, the fire doubles in size, so if it was already in the walls and the roof when the call came in. It doesn’t take long for a fire to take hold and take off,” said Held. “In a perfect world, it would be great if we were on scene the second a fire started, but we all know it’s not a perfect world.” Held said the focus was on an exterior attack, which included protecting the gas pumps, propane tank and nearby tire shop. “When they did exit the building, they hit the emergency shut-off to the gas tanks,” said Held, explaining there was still a risk as gas would still have been in the pumps, and the tank beneath them. “We managed to keep it cool, and the propane tank that was behind the building, we kept that from exploding. The tire shop, which is four feet from the building, it got a little bit scorched but it’s still standing.” The fire is believed to have been caused by

Chinook numbers down By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAff

While the coho salmon run is just getting started on the Salmon River, the chinook run is over. And the results this year are disappointing. Towards the end of October, Fisheries and Oceans Canada expected the South Thompson chinook run that includes Little Shuswap, Adams, Salmon and Eagle rivers to meet or exceed the brood year of 150,000 fish. But volunteer Eugene Puetz, who operates a fish fence at his Silver Creek property, said only 188 chinook arrived at the fence this

year, down from the 2011 brood year of 212. “They did some sandbagging to channel the river and we had probably about 100 fish come up after they did that,” Puetz said of efforts by Fisheries and volunteers to deepen the channel to help the fish through extremely low water levels at the mouth of the river. Puetz says the chinook run peaks between Sept. 10 and 15 and he heard the South Thompson run was good overall. (Fisheries officials were unavailable to confirm numbers). “It would have been nice if it had been us (with good numbers)

Royal Canadian Legion #62

instead of being down in our little river,” he says, noting the brood year was not very good and only the odd chinook had arrived at the fence since early October. “At least they managed to get brood stock so it’s not a total disaster.” As of Monday, Puetz had counted 88 coho at the fence, sufficient for Spius Hatchery to return to get adult coho pairs for brood stock. The fry will go back into the Salmon River in several locations from Westwold down river next spring. The coho have a three-year

life cycle, with only 150 arriving in the last brood year, says Puetz. “Next year should be quite a bit better for coho,” he says. “It was one of the best we’ve ever had with more than 3,738 in 2013.” Puetz says he believes next year’s chinook run could also be better, with somewhere between 500 to 800 having arrived in the 2012 brood run. As well as high water temperatures and low water levels, Puetz thinks last year’s low snowpacks impacted this year’s salmon returns.

Arnold considers options for new Conservative Party leader By Richard Rolke BLACK PRESS

Mel Arnold hasn’t assumed official duties as North OkanaganShuswap MP yet, but he’s preparing to make a big decision. The Conservative caucus meets Thursday to select an interim leader to replace Stephen Harper after the party’s election loss Oct. 19. “I am doing research on all of them and learning about their backgrounds,” said Arnold. Those pursuing the role of interim leader are MPs Diane Finley, Rob Nicholson, Erin O’Toole, Rona Ambrose, Mike Lake, Michelle Rempel, De-

nis Lebel and Candice Bergen. Arnold says he hasn’t decided who he will support yet.

Mel Arnold

“I’m looking for leadership skills, the ability to move the party towards the next election and holding the government to account,” he said. It’s not known when the Conservatives will

hold a race for the permanent leadership of the party. It’s expected Harper will speak to the caucus Thursday. “I’m sure it’s been a difficult time for him as it has been for members not re-elected,” said Arnold. Because of the shift from a Conservative to Liberal government and a number of new MPs being elected, Arnold still hasn’t been assigned an office on Parliament Hill. “A lot of shuffling is taking place and there’s a lot of people to move,” he said. Arnold also hasn’t made a decision on where his riding office in Vernon will be located.

Times are changing, and so will the way Salmon Arm council is reimbursed for travel expenses. Monica Dalziel, the city’s chief financial officer, explains that a couple of decades ago, flights were more expensive so if council members preferred to fly to a conference, it would generally be a more expensive trip than driving.

The policy on travel expenses has meant the city would reimburse council for the cheapest method, factoring in parking, mileage, cheapest flights and more. However, with the advent of cheaper airline travel, the costs of driving and flying have become much closer. “Now it will be based on how they actually travel – that will be reimbursed, rather than this complicated comparison,” Dalziel

told the Market News. “It just makes more sense to base it on how they’re travelling.” She notes the amounts allowed are always subject to budget constraints, so driving to Toronto, for instance, wouldn’t be feasible. Staff will be forwarding a report to council for its perusal.

Protect yourself by asking questions If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. That’s an expression worth remembering now – and as we get closer to the busy Christmas season when our minds may be filled with other things. In fact, it’s something everyone, of any age, should have etched into their brains, as incidents of fraud and scams press on, seemingly unabated. That may sound a tad harsh or pessimistic. Whether it’s greed, a simple feeling of not wanting to upset people or, for some other reason, folks fall for scams all the time. And so, the scammers keep calling, emailing and writing, hoping for a response — just enough to encourage the behaviour. And once a person and their money are parted, it’s exceedingly difficult for the authorities to get it back. Yet, police and financial institutions fight hard to try to prevent scams and the people who run them from taking advantage of others. Even so, we cannot rely on them. Individuals must be on guard — for the day will come when someone will try to weasel our hard-earned cash from our pockets. When that happens, and the whole thing makes you curious or uncomfortable, just ask questions. Ask them who they are. Ask for their phone number. Ask for their boss. And then ask to phone them back. And if you are still not feeling good about it, just hang up. It’s the equivalent of walking away from panhandlers on the street. Police continually tell us the best way to find out if something is a scam or not, is to call the agency purported to be offering the windfall. Contact them directly and ask if the offer is on the up and up. There are people out there who want to separate us from our money for nasty reasons. It’s up to us to know the difference between them and the legitimately good people out there. Sometimes, all it takes to be sure is to ask. -Black Press

OpiniOn

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

Future holds visits to thrift shop November is here already. I mean where did the #@&#!! summer go. This past summer jut went by like a flash, and there was me thinking that I’d have the whole summer and fall to go fishing whenever I felt like it. Of course I was working at Fort Steele and they did shut down fishing because of the warm weather and low water levels. There’s always next season. Besides, there are all sorts of things I can do to get myself through the next five, long, cold, miserable, did I mention long and cold, months. Not that I plan on spending too much time outdoors in the cold and snow – not if I can help it. Maybe I’ll go through some of those old fishing magazines that I picked at the thrift store and haven’t quite got around to reading… yet. Or maybe I’ll start fly tying again. It’s been a few years now since I tied any flies. As I recall there was always something quite special about catching a fish on a fly that you had tied yourself. I know I won’t have to

The GreaT OuTdOOrs James Murray look too far for things that I could do around the house. There’s that bookshelf that I built to hold the magazines that I picked up at the thrift store – the one that didn’t exactly fit where I wanted to put it and have been meaning to move into the bedroom where the television use to be – ever since I decided that there isn’t anything worth watching on TV and dropped it off at the thrift store. I think that was the same day I picked up all the magazines. Then again I could phone Cory and see if he wants to go to one of those outdoor shows that take place in January. We both just like to walk around and look at all the new high-tech gear and talk

to all the tech reps and sales people. I like it when their eyes light up because they think that I just might be in the market for a new rod or reel. Mostly I just pick up brochures from all the fancy fishing lodges that I know for sure I’ll never be able to afford. I’m sure it really irks the lodge owners when they see a guy like me helping

myself to one of their expensive brochures. But you never know – I mean I could win the lottery. Maybe I’ll head on down to the local tackle store and join “the gang” for coffee – even though I don’t actually drink coffee. I could join them in the time-honoured tradition of telling fishing stories. Even

if I lie my head off, none of them will question me, leastwise not to my face. They have a certain respect for the art of telling a good fishing story. Maybe I’ll start that fishing journal I’ve been planning on writing for that past few years with all the sort of things like times and dates, insect hatches, patterns used and fish caught. The problem is, I didn’t really do a lot of fishing this past summer or the last few years for that matter. Maybe next season I’ll get out more. I can start it then. One thing for sure, I’m going spend a lot more time out in my boat, just sitting out there and relaxing. Of course I could head over to the thrift store and see if they have any more new fishing magazines. All I know for sure is that some day, I’m going to be able to drop off a pretty good load of magazines at the thrift store myself. I might even drop off that stupid shelf that I made, the one that doesn’t exactly fit where I wanted to put it and have been meaning to move into the bedroom where the television used to be.

Mayes reflects on career Retirement: Former MP heading for his workshop. By Richard Rolke BLACK PRESS

Colin Mayes has control of his life again. After almost 10 years of assistants and party officials dictating his schedule, the newly retired North OkanaganShuswap MP has time in his workshop. “I always used to rush with projects because I had to be back on a plane to Ottawa,” he said. “Now if I don’t feel like working on it, I take the day off.” The former mayor of Salmon Arm was first elected to Parliament in 2006, but decided last year not to seek another term during the recent election. He’s pleased with his record in office. “It’s been so rewarding to see the fourlaning of Highway 97 from Armstrong to Kelowna and key work to the Trans-Canada Highway. And then there were projects like the new pool in Armstrong,” he said. “You’re there to help the community build. Coming from a municipal background, I appreciated the struggles communities experience with infrastructure.” Some issues were personal, including pushing to have parole ineligibility for sexual assault, abduction and murder go from 25 to 40 years. The motivation came after talking to Armstrong resident Marie Van Diest, whose 18-year-old daughter

Taylor was murdered in 2011. “She didn’t want to relive it,” said Mayes of potential parole hearings for the individual convicted of the crime. Mayes’ private member’s bill wasn’t approved before Parliament was dissolved for the election. Among his toughest decisions was voting to extend the Canadian military’s mission in Afghanistan in 2007.

lives that caused that,” he said. For Mayes, a change in the last decade is what he believes is an increase in conspiracies fed by social media. “I get people talking about big agriculture taking over seeds and vapor trails after planes. Why would we do that? With Bill C-51 (antiterrorism legislation), people said the government was going to take over control. Why

“It’s part of the job. If you are bitter, it will eat you up. If you are professional and keep cool, things will work out.’ –Colin Mayes, retired MP “You are taking responsibility to put them (soldiers) there. When someone came back in a box, you thought about that.” During his tenure, Mayes was a lightning rod for residents critical of the Conservative government. “It’s part of the job. If you are bitter, it will eat you up. If you are professional and keep cool, things will work out.” Mayes came under fire last year for comments he made at a vigil for homeless individuals in Vernon. City of Vernon officials suggested Mayes had stated that homelessness isn’t a federal issue. “What I said was the government didn’t cause homelessness. There’s addiction or tragedies in people’s

would we do that?” His faith gave him great strength, and particularly the weekly prayer breakfast on the Hill. “It put everything in context of what’s important in life. What’s important is how people remember you. Were you honest, do you have integrity? I was just a citizen with the privilege of serving in this position. You do your best but you don’t get wrapped up in the position.” One thing he won’t miss is Question Period. “It’s an insult to your intelligence. The opposition takes cheap shots and the government doesn’t necessarily respond in a responsible way. It was a real struggle to see men and

Customer Appreciation Day

women degraded that way,” he said. “I worked with opposition members who did great things and were good friends. Elizabeth May is a close friend but we are way apart in our politics.” Beyond his next project in the shop, Mayes hopes to speak to area students as a way of creating awareness about government and democracy. His wife Jacquie and their children have decided that he’s done with politics, but Mayes isn’t closing the door completely. A constant rumour is that he will run for Salmon Arm mayor again. “You can’t relive the times of glory. I left as mayor on a high and left as MP on a high so it’s hard to relive those days,” he said.

The Sorrento Centre Anglican Church of Canada was fined $14,384 for allowing workers to be in an area where there was damaged and exposed asbestos without using adequate personal protective equipment or safe work procedures. “The firm should first have ensured that all friable (easily crumbled) asbestos-containing materials were removed or enclosed so as to prevent the release of asbestos fibres,” reads a recently released WorkSafe

B.C. report. “These designated high-risk violations may have exposed workers to asbestos, a known carcinogen.” The church has filed a notice of appeal, but the Sorrento Centre representative dealing with the matter was out of the office and not available for comment Wednesday. Asbestos was a popular building material between the 1950s and 1990s due to its heat resistant properties and resilience to chemical erosion — but it

is now known that it causes a number of serious health problems. It’s often described as a hidden killer because asbestos-related diseases take a long time to develop. Once diagnosed, it’s often too late for treatment. According to WorkSafe B.C., asbestos-related diseases resulted in 77 deaths in 2014, up from 59 in 2013. Visit WorkSafe B.C. for more information about asbestos, and how to prevent exposure to it.

Time to remember those who served A Service of Remembrance will be held at Sorrento Memorial Hall on Passchendaele Road on Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 10:30 a.m. Those persons wishing to lay a wreath on behalf of an organization or as an individual, should contact Alan Cook at 250-675-4174 and leave a message in order to have their names included. Following the ceremony, the wreaths that are presented during the service will be paraded across the Trans-Canada Highway to the Cenotaph located in front of St. Mary’s Anglican/United Church. Refreshments will be served after the ceremony and the laying of the wreaths at the Drop-In Centre at the lower level of the Memorial Hall. If you can help to provide refreshments, contact Jenny Weib at 250-679-8282 or Margo Friesen at 250-6750065. Those contributing squares, cookies etc.

should take them to the Drop-In Centre on Nov. 10. Notch Hill veterans will be remembered on Nov. 11 at the Notch Hill Cemetery located on Hilltop Road. It has a very unique and interesting history. The land was donated by pioneer homesteader John McIntyre in the 1890s and the earliest recorded burial was in 1899. The cemetery is still being used for burials and cremations and has undergone considerable restoration in the last six years. There are four First World War veterans and 11 Second World War veterans who are resting in Notch Hill Cemetery. These individuals served their country, survived, came back to Canada and lived out their lives in various provinces. Their occupations ranged from railroad engineers, postmasters, truck drivers, farmers, store merchants and businessmen. They passed away

Cod Gone Wild recently bid farewell to band mate and friend Anjuli Otter, who recently got married and moved to Saskatchewan. “Anjuli was with the band for four years, was an amazing addition, and played a large role in the band’s success over that time, says Cod Gone Wild front man Andrew Mercer. “Anjuli’s departure certainly left a void, some uncertainty, and many unanswered questions around who was going to fill that void.” Then along came Susan Aylard, who began studying the violin before her third birthday.

Making a toast to the grape harvest GAIA GARDENING Margo Westaway

The celebration of Thanksgiving dinner can often give us an opportunity to share our stories of the harvest from both young and old – helped by all those wonderful smells wafting from the dishes on the table – which are our biggest memory triggers. What we drink with our meals – such as wine – can also evoke them too, so allow me to share one of my own… At the age of 19, I took off to travel Europe for six months, with the hope of having some work along the way to stretch out my meagre savings. As luck would have it, a chance encounter with a bloke at a small pub in England blessed my newfound Australian companion and I with the possibility of a grape-harvesting gig with a Swiss family he worked for in the famous area of Bordeaux, France. A letter was sent off post-haste to secure our spots in the fields and two months later we arrived, having no idea what this working holiday would look like or what would be in store for us. We were picked up on a warm October day at the train station by a friendly and thankfully English-speaking member of the family, who then motored us through miles and miles of gently rolling hills with properties of all ages and character – many with ancient gnarly-trunked vineyards, along with their centuries-old estate homes that had slave and servant wings from days of old. Their own seasonal home was relatively new at 150 years old and we were settled in to our own big bedroom, complete with

fireplace, feeling much more at ease and eager to start picking. Our next three weeks were spent working fast and hard – bending, reaching and snipping to wrestle the clusters off the vines, and lifting full buckets up high to dump them into the bigger bucket that hung from the back of the strongest member of the group, who walked continually back and forth to the tractor and trailer. It wasn’t long before we got the nimble-fingered knack of using those super-sharp snips without taking the tips of our fingers off. But at the end of the first few days, our hands, arms and shoulders were incredibly sore until we got used to it. When it rained, the bright orange clay turned to thick, greasy muck that sucked our boots right off when we tried to walk. But no matter how tough it got at times, the cheerful singing and chatter

never ceased. As is the usual tradition of the grape harvest, the labour is usually a family-and-friends affair, along with a few extra hands like our British friend and us. So the banter at the big table was friendly, familiar and full of laughter. Breakfast was relatively brief, but lunch lasted almost two hours and dinner didn’t end until late into the evening. We enjoyed extraordinarily delicious meals prepared by the family’s cooks, which always ended with French pastries and chocolates – all the while washing it all down with that wonderful wine. Water, it seemed, was only available for working, brushing and bathing, and our slightly tipsy condition after lunch certainly raised the risk of losing bits off our digits. There was a brief break after a couple of weeks when all the bins were full, so while they were being processed

in town, we three were able to work a few days for a old French count who was well into his late 90s. His crumbling estate dated back to the 1600s and we ate from a large cast-iron soup pot that dangled over the fireplace. I plunked away once on his old grand piano for him (which was easier than trying to communicate), while I gawked at his enormous tattered tapestries that hung from the high walls. By the end of the harvest and after having acclimatized our bodies to the vast amounts of wine, we were a bunch of well-oiled picking and snipping machines.

Is it time to say bye-bye to bacon? HEALTHY BITES Serena Caner It was a bad day for bacon lovers worldwide. As Ari Paparo commented on Twitter, “If I have to eat my bacon 15 feet in front of the

building, standing in the cold, so be it.” While many of our other favourite foods like chocolate, wine and coffee have been found to have some health benefit, to date, bacon has been out of luck. Last week, after a review of more than 800 studies, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) released a report stating that there is sufficient evidence to classify bacon, along with other processed

meats, to be carcinogenic. This means it has the potential for causing cancer under some circumstances. Although limiting intake of processed meat has been a public health message for many years, this report was unique in that it attached numbers to the risk, reporting that each 50-gram portion of processed meat eaten daily increases risk of colorectal cancer by 18 per cent. To provide some reference, 50 grams is not

very much: about two slices of bacon or one hot dog wiener. The term processed meats includes meat “transformed through salting, curing, fermentation, smoking or other processes to enhance flavour or improve preservation.” This would include hotdogs, ham, sausages, corned beef, beef jerky or canned meat, but would not include many deli meats such as whole-roasted turkey, chicken or beef. So what does this

mean? The research does not prove that you will get cancer if you eat processed meats. The relative risk of occasionally enjoying some bacon or hot dogs is quite small. However, it does suggest that you should not make processed meats an everyday choice, especially if you have a family history of colorectal cancer. The unfortunate result of this report is that while joking about eating bacon is funny,

it underscores the fact that for many people, eating processed meats is a life skills or economic reality, not a personal choice. These findings should be used to advocate for acceptable alternative protein sources for those living on a small income or with limited cooking skills. -Serena Caner is a registered dietician who works at Shuswap Lake General Hospital.

Season opens with Sibelius The Kamloops Symphony returns with the first of their Salmon Arm Series with Sibelius. The symphony will showcase three works by the composer: Finlandia, the Violin Concerto and Symphony #2, as an early celebration of the composer’s 150th birthday. The Finnish composer, who was known for his originality, became a national hero in Finland. Finlandia became the country’s unofficial national anthem. The piece got Sibelius noticed and he became a legend throughout the European continent. Sibelius’ music helped form the Finnish national identity and the country honours him each year on his birthday, Dec. 8, with an unofficial flag day celebrated as the Day of Finnish Music. On Nov. 13, Kamloops Symphony brings the Finnish music to Salmon Arm. Audience members will hear the Violin Concerto, touted as one of the greatest violin concertos ever written. Although Sibelius began with piano as a child, it was the violin that sparked his enthusiasm for music. Once composition piqued his interest, his violin playing did not keep pace. Nevertheless, his Violin Concerto is a prime example of his compositional genius and is known for its technical challenges. On Nov. 13, violinist Marc Djokic will perform this concerto which blends technical brilliance with an impressive symphonic line. Djokic picked up his first violin when he was seven. It was a natural thing to do for the Halifaxborn musician, who now calls Montreal home — his dad was both musician and teacher. Djokic has been praised for his rhythmic sense and natural phrasing. He has won numerous prizes and frequently performs as a soloist with Canada’s top orchestras. He has been critically acclaimed for his spot-on accuracy and Sibelius is one of his favourite composers. “I feel especially drawn to his works as my father and first violin teacher, Philippe Djokic, won the Sibelius Violin Competition in Helsinki in 1977. To this day, I will play for him and he still teaches me.” The Kamloops Symphony will perform at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13 at the SASCU Recreation Centre. Tickets are available at Kamloops Live! Box Office at 1-866-374-5483 or www.kamloopslive.ca, Wearabouts or at the door.

Three B.C. ministers in Trudeau cabinet By Tom Fletcher BlaCk PrEss

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has appointed three rookie B.C. MPs to his new cabinet, all from the Lower Mainland. Vancouver South MP Harjit Sajjan, a former LieutenantColonel in the Canadian Forces who served three tours in Afghanistan, is the new Minister of Defence. He was a Vancouver Police officer for 11 years before running for Parliament in the Oct. 19 election. Vancouver-Granville MP Jody Wilson-Raybould, another first-time candidate elected to

the new riding of VancouverGranville, is appointed Justice Minister. Wilson-Raybould is a former Crown prosecutor and served as B.C. regional chief for the Assembly of First Nations before running for national office. Delta MP Carla Qualtrough is appointed Minister for Sport and Persons with Disabilities. A lawyer and specialist in disabilities who is visually impaired, Qualtrough won three medals in swimming at the 1988 and 1992 Paralympic Games. B.C. Premier Christy Clark congratulated the new B.C. MPs, part of a contingent of 17

elected with the Liberal majority in Ottawa. “I am pleased to see British Columbia will be well represented at the cabinet table,” Clark said in a statement Wednesday. “I know ministers Jody Wilson-Raybould, Harjit Sajjan and Carla Qualtrough will be strong, passionate advocates, not just for our province, but for our shared priorities, like renewing the Softwood Lumber Agreement, LNG development, increasing support for international trade, investing in infrastructure and immigration, as well as fully including First Nations in our diverse economy.”

BrainWorking Recursive Therapy® is a new solution– focused therapy that can help provide a speedy and permanent solution for many mind related difficulties. What makes BWRT® special? Other therapies work with the emotional response after it has been triggered. BWRT® changes the response in the physical brain before the emotion has arisen in the first place. Terence Watts, MCGI: a professional therapist in the United Kingdom, created BWRT® after reading about the work of scientist Benjamin Libet. Libet was trying to learn more about human awareness and what he discovered changed our understanding of how the human brain processes information. Libet’s discovery showed the world “we don’t have free will as we know it”. In 2003 was the first recipient of the Virtual Nobel Prize in Psychology for his pioneering achievements. This was the inspiration that ignited Terence to develop BWRT®. He recognized Libet’s discovery was the answer to many unanswered questions

leave you feeling vulnerable or embarrassed and there is no need to dig into your life history going back through time to discover the originating cause for today’s problem. It is completely logical, practical and down to earth. The process done in an awake state, you are fully conscious and interacting with the therapist. Sessions are done in the therapist’s office, some therapists do offer the option of Skype for individuals that are far away or for some reason can not leave home. A BWRT® session typically takes 50 minutes with the exception of the first consultation visit which will be longer. During the first visit the therapist fully explains how the brain processes information and how you will be using that processing power to benefit you and your specific needs. You will be asked some questions to help the therapist understand how the issue is affecting you. Back ground information, what it is you want to change, how long you have been experiencing the reason for you visit and how you want to be/feel instead. Once the process is started it moves along very fast. The technique appears overly simple but don’t let that fool you, the results people have achieved with this new therapy have been truly life changing. Even those issues that seem deep rooted or have been

a part of your life for as long as you can remember can just seem to melt away. Rapid results is no exaggeration, compared to other traditional therapies BWRT® is so powerful clients experience positive change on average in just 3-4 visits and quite often in as little as 1. All you need to succeed; is a memory of a time that this problem really affected you, the desire to change it, the ability to follow very easy instructions, commitment to do your part of the process, and to be able to focus your mind on how you want to be instead. There are many psychological difficulties with which a BWRT practitioner can help with. If you experience a negative emotional response because of the issue most likely BWRT® can help. A few examples would be; any sort of anxiety or fear, limiting beliefs, lack of confidence, post traumatic issues, grief, social problems and more There’s a lot of hype in the world of therapy and usually when something seems too good to be true - it usually is… but BrainWorking Recursive Therapy® is good and it is true. It is genuinely completely different from any other therapy and provides results to prove it. To find out if BrainWorking Recursive Therapy® can help you, contact a practitioner or visit www.bwrt.org.

Village of Chase

CHASE Home stand earns two points By Scott Koch

MARKET NEWS STAFF

A weekend after having weathered three games in three days on an East Kootenay road trip, and notching but a single point, the Chase Heat were happy to be back in the friendly confines of the Art Holding Memorial Arena. All Hallows Eve saw the locals matched up versus their division foes, the Revelstoke Grizzlies. With season ticket holders either handing out treats or trick or treating themselves, a smaller than usual crowd took in a barn burner of a contest. In the 1st, Revelstoke gets on the board, in the 2nd Chase – Kolten Moore from Travis Beaubien and Spencer Farstad. So things are all tied up going into the 3rd where the Heat get one from Moore, again assisted by Alex Durbeniuk. But with 58 seconds left, the Grizzlies get the equalizer

on the power play due to a brain-numbing, late-in-the-game boarding penalty. Off to four on four overtime where Michael Fidanza saves the day by scoring the winner from Durbeniuk and Mason Palaga. Nic Bruyere stood tall in net, stopping 42 of 44. Sunday afternoon the 1st of November saw the battered and bruised Fernie Ghostriders come to Chase after beating Kamloops on Friday and then taking a thumping from the 100 Mile House Wranglers on Saturday night. In the 1st it was back and forth with the Heat controlling the play, but no scoring. In the 2nd, the craziest one minute of hockey right off the hop as Fernie’s Cole Keebler scored at the 22nd second mark, 27 seconds later they take a penalty and at the 58-second mark Logan Mostat scores on the power play from Fidanza and Braden Hughes. Fernie gets two more

Online classifieds streamline name A Canadian-owned and based company should be strategic about how it presents itself, which is what has driven the vision behind the refreshed brand of Used.ca (formerly UsedEverywhere. com). The new Used.ca is a natural evolution for the company. While the focus will continue to be on communities and neighbours reducing waste and saving money, the new single name will resonate across the country. The move streamlines Used. ca’s marketing efforts and communications with communities. The brand has gone from 84 distinct URLs to one. Not only is Used.ca easier to say, it’s also easier to spell, something that is critical in the online world. “Used.ca on the surface seems like we’ve only trimmed 11 characters, but it creates opportunities, scalability, and a more recognizable name for Canadians,” says Lacey Sheardown, acting president and director of marketing for Used.ca. “While our outward branding has been UsedEverywhere.com since 2008, even our staff have shortened the name to Used on a day-to-day basis!” Used.ca is Canada’s largest Canadian-owned online classifieds company and is part of Black Press Community News Media, which operates the Shuswap Market News. The organization is headquartered in Victoria, BC, a city that is rich in both technology companies and entrepreneurs. This home base provides the perfect location for this Canadian-focused technology company to both learn from their peers and explore leading-edge innovation. As an end goal, Used.ca helps its users save their money by both selling and buying used items, so that they can make their income stretch further. With more than two million unique visitors and 55 million page views per month, the familyfriendly site is free from adult content, making it a safe place for brands to reach Canadians at a hyper-local level. For more information, visit www.Used.ca.

Volunteers needed to help the hospital

The Shuswap Hospital Foundation is looking for volunteers to staff the kiosk at the Mall at Picaddilly. On Thursday, Nov. 12, the foundation will launch the new campaign at the mall and would like to have the kiosk open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Many people enjoy making their donations at the mall kiosk where they are able to pick up useful information about the foundation and the work it does to acquire high priority equipment to improve health care in the Shuswap. If you would like to help by taking on some volunteer shifts at the kiosk, contact Diana McFarlane or Fiona Harris at the Shuswap Hospital Foundation office, 250-803-4546 or email diana. mcfarlane@interiorhealth.ca.

It’s been an exceptionally busy week here at Village Lanes! We hope that you all had a fantastic and spooky Halloween! This past weekend at Village Lanes was the Bowl BC Team Challenge. Three teams from Chase came to compete on Sunday afternoon! The teams bowled three games, and though the scores weren’t the greatest, everyone certainly had a lot of fun! Village Lanes will be sending the three team’s scores away to the head office at Bowl BC, where they will be measured up against the rest of the participating teams throughout the province to see who’s in the money! Coming in third place at our local roll-off was a family team from our Friday Night league! Jeff and Tammy Leel, along with their children, Brieanna and Cody, picked up a fifth teammate in Joe Fletcher, and placed third in the house rolloffs! Though they were under their team average by 148 pins, they had a blast, and always add so much excitement to our events here at Village Lanes. It was a battle for first place, between two rivalry teams. Girls on one side, guys on the other – most of whom are spouses! Talk about trash talking! Unfortunately (and I only say unfortunately, because I was on the girls team), the guys team ended up placing first, beating out the gals by 90 pins! Congratulations to Tom Horner, Rod Thiessen, Kelly Collins, Dan Maki, and Rick Berrigan on their victory! However, I think our ladies team had WAY more fun! Ali Maki, Sandra Coates, Gwen Sokal, and Lori Berrigan – don’t worry ladies! We will get them next year! Have a great week everyone! Until next time, cheers!

Turkey: Will the next stop be a civil war? Global VieWs Gwynne Dyer “You may deceive all the people part of the time, and part of the people all the time...”, begins Abraham Lincoln’s famous aphorism about democracy – but in a multi-party democratic system, that is usually enough. In a parliamentary system like Turkey’s, 49 percent of the popular vote gives you a comfortable majority of seats, and so Recep Tayyib Erdogan will rule Turkey for another four years. If it lasts that long. There will still be a Turkey of some sort in four years’ time, of course, but it may no longer be a democracy, and it may not even have its present borders. In last Sunday’s vote, Erdogan won back the majority he lost in the June election, but the tactics he employed have totally alienated an important section of the population.

Kurds make up a fifth of Turkey’s 78 million people. Most Kurds are pious, socially conservative Sunni Muslims, so they usually voted for Erdogan’s Justice and Development (AK) Party – which consequently won three successive elections (2003, 2007, 2011) with increasing majorities. Then the Kurds stopped voting for Erdogan, which is why he lost last June’s election. In this month’s election he managed to replace those lost votes with nationalist voters who are frightened of a Kurdish secession and simple souls who just want stability and peace – but he had to start a war to win them over. Erdogan threw Turkey’s support firmly behind the rebels when the Syrian civil war broke out in 2011, mainly because as a devout Sunni Muslim he detested Bashar alAssad’s Alawite-dominated regime. He kept Turkey’s border with Syria open to facilitate the flow of volunteers, weapons and money to the Islamist groups fighting Assad, including the Nusra Front and ISIS (which eventually became Islamic State). He even backed Is-

lamic State when it attacked the territory that had been liberated by the Kurds of northern Syria. That territory extends along the whole eastern half of Turkey’s border with Syria and, in the end, despite Erdogan’s best efforts, the Syrian Kurds managed to repel ISIS’s attacks. But this was the issue that cost Erdogan the support of Turkish Kurds. His solution was to restart the war against the PKK, the armed separatist movement that is based in the Kurdish-speaking northern provinces of Iraq. A cease fire had stopped the fighting between the Turkish government and the PKK for the past four years, but Erdogan now needed a patriotic war against wicked Kurdish separatists in order to lure the nationalists and the naive into backing his party. He duped the United States into supporting this war by allowing U.S. bombers to use Turkish air bases and promising that Turkish planes would start bombing Islamic State too. (In fact, Turkey has dropped only a few token bombs on IS; the vast majority of its bombs are falling on

Kurds.) The pay-off came on Sunday, when the votes of Turks who fear Kurdish separatism replaced the Kurdish votes that the AK Party lost last June. The problem is that the election is now over but the war will continue. So Erdogan’s AK won the election, but Turkey is no longer a real democracy. And since the half of the population that didn’t vote for Erdogan utterly loathes him, it won’t be a very stable authoritarian state either. In fact, it is probably teetering on the brink of civil war. The people who loathe Erdogan because he is destroying Turkey’s free media, perverting its criminal justice system and robbing the state blind – he and his AK colleagues have been enthusiastically feathering their nests – will not turn to violence. The poor will not turn to violence either, even though the economic boom is over and jobs are disappearing. But some of the Turkish Kurds will fight, and they will have the support of the Syrian Kurds just across the border. That will probably draw the Turkish army into in-

vading northern Syria to crush the Kurds there – and once Turkey is fully involved in the Syrian civil war, all of southeastern Turkey (where Kurds are the majority) also becomes part of the combat zone. When Mustafa Kemal Ataturk rescued a Turkish republic from

the wreckage of the Ottoman empire after the First World War, he was determined to make it a European state. It was a fairly oppressive state at first, but over the decades it gradually turned into a democracy that operated under the rule of law. That’s over now. It

took Erdogan a dozen years in power to demolish that Europeanstyle democracy, but the job is done. As one despairing Turk put it recently, Turkey is becoming a Middle Eastern country. -Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

Our company has been providing quality timbers and beams to customers for over 30 years. In 1983, Alan and his wife, Kim returned to the family farm to raise their two children. At this time, Alan started to re-build the mill that he had once worked in as a child. It took a year to re-build the old mill. Alan started cutting ties for the Railroad which were in great demand at the time. He was also cutting cedar cants for a re-saw mill along with beams and timbers for many homes that where built in Sicamous and the area. Alan and Kim operated this mill for seven years. Over time, the orders kept increasing and the old mill could not keep up with the increase of large oversized timber and beams. In 1990, Kim’s father (Merv Siegrist) and mother Anne had moved to Sicamous to become a partner. Alan and Merv bought a new mill large enough to fill the orders of the beams and timbers that the old saw mill could not handle. The next generation has now joined the business. Alan and his son Tyler work the mill together making a great father/son team. Our team at Hyde Sawmill takes great pride in their workmanship and in supplying a superior product to customers.

“We are trying to get all of the information we can,” said McCune. “We need to go to the businesses and say this is what we are thinking about. We want to provide them with a good visual.” Among the other options put before council were an eastbound oneway with angle parking on one side, a westbound one-way with angle parking on one side, a pedestrian-only street, a two-way street with parallel parking and a two-way street with angle parking. “As any changes in

Enderby’s main street could undergo a major transformation. City council received several design options for Cliff Avenue Monday, and the one that will be investigated is maintaining two-way traffic but with sidewalk bulbs. “There would be strategic areas where there are pullouts and more seating,” said Mayor Greg McCune, adding that the goal is to create a pedestrianfriendly environment.

“Our downtown is our retail core. We need to get focused there. There are a couple of vacant buildings and we hope to spur something on.” The possible price tag for the work is $1.2 to $1.5 million but no decisions on proceeding with the project have been made. The next step is for staff to work with the engineering/architectural team on a concept design. This process will include infrastructure requirements, esthetic enhancements and economic opportunities.

MCDONALD, Margaret Evelyne (Tweedy) born April 24, 1943 in Ottawa, ON passed away peacefully on Friday, Oct. 30, 2015 at Hillside Village, Salmon Arm at the age of 72 years after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer’s. Margaret leaves behind her loving husband of 49 years, Dave McDonald and their children; Karen (Jamie) and family, Brad (Jeanette) and family and Scott and family, six grandchildren; Brianna, Solomon, Chris, Hanna, Emily and Josh all from the Edmonton area, her loving sister Julie (Jean) of Vancouver and sister in law Cathy Tweedy of Ontario. She was predeceased by her parents Evelyn and Gord and her brother John. Margaret was a loving, devoted wife and mother and was always there for all of us no matter what! Margaret was a compassionate nurse for 35 years who dearly put her patients first and genuinely loved to make a difference for others. Margaret nursed in Trail, Castlegar, White Rock and Kamloops and retired in 2000. She loved sewing, crocheting, sports and most of all spending time with family. She was the one who kept the connections and communication alive and the glue that kept the family together. We truly have missed her sense of humour throughout her illness and heaven will be a much happier place with her presence. She was truly one of a kind and will always be cherished in our hearts. As per her request, no service will be held, however a celebration of her life will be held in the spring when the flowers are blooming. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Margaret’s name can be made to the Alzheimer’s Society or Humane Society. Online condolences may be made to McDave50@hotmail.com.

JOSEPH VERDURMEN June 15, 1926 in Ossenisse, the Netherlands November 2, 2015 (1:35 pm) in Salmon Arm, BC Our family gathered today in room 34 of Hillside Village Care Facility to be with our: father, opa and husband as he took his last peaceful breaths. Our time together allowed us to reflect on the way he had lived and how he has given us all his unconditional love and support to carry on. Joseph Peter Verdurmen was born on June 15, 1926 just behind a dyke on the Scheldt Estuary between the North Sea and the Port of Antwerp. Joe’s father, Alphonse, was a farmer and draft horse breeder. Joe’s mother, Maria (nee Serrarens), gave birth to 2 more children namely, George and Marieke. She lovingly raised the 3 children on their traditional Flemish farm near the sea. Joe was a great storyteller and his hometown of Ossenisse and its characters provided most of his material. He described his upbringing as being in an almost medieval society which reluctantly and only very slowly accepted: automobiles, telephones and the modern world. Joe was barely in school when his mother died in childbirth and he was only 10 when his father died of Tuberculosis. Yet, it would be hard to call Joe an “orphan” as the 3 little children were warmly taken in by his Tante Tille and the Boonman family. She raised them like her very own while she, herself, had 9 more children. This then was Joe’s “Dutch” family and the source from which he draws his fondest memories of: skating on canals, playing soccer and the arrival of St. Nicholas on a Steamboat in the village of Rilland-Bath. The Netherlands were violently invaded and occupied by Nazi Germany in May, 1940. Joe was in high school and could have adapted to a risk free existence under the imposed regime but he chose to join the Dutch Resistance instead. The stories he told were unnerving. He described the retrieval of allied airmen and the couriering of stolen Luftwaffe documents. He told us how his heart stopped as his school bag was searched by Gestapo agents on the train. The heavy thumb of the agent went through the pages of the school atlas between which those secret documents were hidden. Joe dodged death early and often in his life. He did not believe he was lucky only that he had had a good guardian angel. When the Canadians liberated Holland and Joe met the soldiers from afar, he decided to immigrate as soon as possible. He booked his voyage aboard the Liberty Ship Franconia in 1952 and docked in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Joe travelled colonial class to Bird’s Hill in southern Manitoba where he worked for his farmer sponsor Jack Verbrugge. He experienced his first harsh winter without complaint all the while developing a deep love for his new country and its people. He worked at the slaughter house for Canada Packers and then spent 10 years in Lynn Lake, Manitoba in the gold and silver mines before going to receive his B.A. and Teaching Degree at the University of Manitoba. In 1961, Joe met his wife, Theresa (nee Van der Zweep) who had also immigrated to Canada with her large Dutch family. The couple was soon married and as Joe moved about Manitoba teaching high school, 3 of their 4 children were born: Marie (1962); Glenn (1964) and Ivan (1966). On a camping trip the natural beauty of BC beckoned the family west. Fully intending on teaching in Victoria, a casual stop at the school board office in Salmon Arm resulted in a position being offered and accepted. Unconventional by nature, the economy of using an old grain truck to move resulted in a catastrophic mechanical break of the railhead in Moosomin, Saskatchewan. The household boxes were loaded on the train and were offloaded in Salmon Arm - Joe had brought his family home! The last of Joe and Theresa’s children, Astrid, was born in 1969 and in 1970 the family purchased: bush, barn, house and cherry orchards at 6350 Lakeshore Road. Joe taught French, German and photography for many years at J.L. Jackson and then went on to be a substitute teacher. He made every personal sacrifice for the success of his family. He loved farming though his fences were poor and timing for haying was often wrong. He dabbled and experimented in many things and in many areas where he would have been well served to hire professionals. Joe loved people. He was warm to every person and student he met. He always had time to listen. As a photographer, he rarely photographed landscapes as he wanted people in his photos. He always claimed that the most interesting subject was the human face. Joe became a Canadian citizen quickly and loved his new country. He loved the freedoms we have and the opportunities of the “new land” yet he still had fond memories of Zeeland where he was born. He was very happy to visit his brother and sister, the Boonman family and the Neves. Joe was nostalgic by nature and enjoyed roaming the medieval walls of the city of Hulst where Marieke and George lived. He ate patates frites with mayonnaise and apple beignets whenever possible. The past meant a great deal to him. Joe had a generous and hospitable nature. He loved having guests from Holland and Canada. He brought out wheels of Gouda, shook the prune trees bare and emptied freezers to make sure everyone ate well for that was the Flemish way. He enjoyed all the visits from the Neves, Bookman’s and finally after 50 years the 2 visits by his brother and sister. Joe lived a quiet life on his farm where he read history books, raised a few beef cattle and waited for the blossoms on his next cherry crop. He loved his wife, Theresa, dearly and they had a good life together. He did not look for perfection and would seek beauty in the simplest of God’s creations. He never gardened in a square but planted daffodils here and there along his paths. As a father he was always there for us. No cause for his children was ever hopeless. He stood by us in our darkest and happiest hours. We all remember the Salmon Arm Greyhound bus station because no matter the time or weather of our departure or arrival, there always stood his solitary figure in his parka and hat. The last years have not been kind to Joe; the forgetting, the anxiety and the confusion. We were devastated as he lost most of the functions of his body and as well as his communication skills; yet people told us that this man had an unusual dignity and poise in spite of it all. Care Aids told us that they had not known Joe before but sense that he was a wise and kind soul. We realize that Joe could not stay longer for our needs and that the time has come to let him wander along his path towards the daffodils. We remain: His wife, Theresa; His daughter, Maria (Michael) and granddaughter Patricia; His son Glenn, grandson Jack and granddaughter Kate; His son Ivan (Martine), granddaughter Dominique and grandson Alexi; His daughter Astrid (Peter) and granddaughter Hanna; His brother George; and His sister Marieke. A Memorial on Saturday November 7, 2015 at 10:30 at St. CatholicCatholic Church Memorial Mass Masswas will held be held on Saturday November 7, 2015 at am 10:30 amJoseph’s at St. Joseph’s (901st(90Street SE, Salmon Arm) Arm) with with Father George LaGrange officiating.

Support for caregivers of dementia patients environment where you can learn, laugh and help each other through mutual understanding.” The groups serve people who want current information that will help improve quality of life for themselves and their family member. In addition to joining support and information groups, she says, caregivers can think about some of these strategies to take care of themselves too:

Profile of the week

• Staying fit Activity is key for physical and mental health. Walking or any other exercise helps. So does healthy eating. • Making time for yourself Take time regularly for activities that you enjoy. You’ll likely have to arrange for someone else to be with your family member, so plan ahead. • Creating a sanctuary Since the demands of caregiving some-

times make it difficult to leave your home, designate a room in the house as your quiet space. Spend a few minutes there each day, away from the demands of your life. • Accepting help This can be as difficult as asking for help. But it’s important. Whenever family and friends offer you assistance, take them up on it. For more information on local support groups, Salmon Arm

MINUTE MUFFLER & MAINTENANCE Robert Babakaiff of Arro Wood Heat Services has been in business for 8 years. A 45+ year resident of Salmon Arm, he believes in buying his products locally. After being laid off from Coe/Newnes, he saw there was a need for a reliable wood heat technician. He became certified in the WETT program – which is a Canadian recognized association, allowing him to be able to inspect, install and maintain wood burning stoves and fireplaces. His services include chimney sweeping, estimates and advice on purchasing and installation of wood burning stoves, such as size needed for the square footage, and the best stove to meet your needs. Robert’s motto “Burning Clean = More Green” not only refers to the money saved when keeping your stove or fireplace maintained, it also refers to the environment, as the new stoves burn cleaner and more efficiently. Repeat customers are spreading the word of his fair pricing and thorough job. For all your wood heat needs, call Robert today for an estimate.

residents may contact Carly Gronlund at 250860-0305 (toll-free at 1-800-634-3399) or email her at: cgronlund@alzheimerbc. org. More resources are available at www.alzheimerbc.org. Nearly 747,000 Canadians – including many in Salmon Arm and the Shuswap – are affected by dementia, and that number is forecast to double within the next 25 years.
