Smart Meters debate: District council drafts letter to BC Hydro. By Lachlan Labere MARKET NEWS STAFF
Shuswap residents should not feel powerless when it comes to pulling the plug on smart meters. So says District of Sicamous Coun. Don Richardson who, with council, agreed to draft a letter to BC Hydro calling for a moratorium on the controversial wireless devices. “I don’t advocate civil disobedience, but certainly, as Canadians, or British Columbians, we need to test even those that have authority,” says Richardson. “Prove to me. I want to see documentation of the fact there’s no problems with this stuff.” Richardson has his reservations about the province’s push to install smart meters. In particular, he is concerned with possible health issues, the risk to privacy posed by hackers, and the potential for time-of-use billing. “This asset belongs to British Columbians… in that, we should be getting the best deal we can in terms of the rate,” says Richardson. “That’s what you’re saying this meter does, but I haven’t seen that so far. In talking to people, their rates have gone up and they haven’t changed their lifestyle. “I have a concern with social manipulation. I
don’t want to do my laundry at 2 o’ clock in the morning, I don’t want to have a shower at two in the morning, I want to have it at a time that fits my lifestyle.” Richardson’s concerns were mirrored in a presentation prior to council’s vote for a moratorium by Lori Onsorge, spokesperson for
Coun. Don Richardson the North Okanagan/ Shuswap coalition to stop smart meters. Onsorge provided details from numerous studies and documentation critical of smart meters and the pulse microwave radio frequency they emit when relaying information. She asked that council join the 37 other communities that have demanded a moratorium until BC Hydro can prove smart meters are safe. Coun. Fred Busch said it isn’t within the district’s power to tell BC Hydro to stay out, and in the meantime would have to work with the Union of BC Municipalities to make
council’s objections known. “Initially, when I first heard about this, I thought it was just some people complaining because they didn’t have anything to complain about,” said Busch. “But I think, as more and more information is coming out, especially about the privacy and the ability for others to be able to hack into my smart meter account – that certainly raises enough questions that I’m willing to get some more information and assurances that this can’t happen.” Coun. Greg Kyllo considered the push on smart meters to be a bit suspect. “What would be the benefit to the individual consumer or the community by installing smart meters?” asked Kyllo. “They certainly aren’t talking about a reduction of rates. They’re selling power to California at a lower rate than they’re charging their citizens in British Columbia. I can’t see any reason why we’d want to support it.” Council agreed to join other districts in submitting a letter to the utility supporting a moratorium until problems identified with smart meters are independently assessed, and an acceptable alternative can be made available at no ad-

ditional cost. In a recent presentation to Salmon Arm City Council, a BC Hydro representative said smart meters would be installed in every home and business, as mandated under the province’s Clean Air Act, even in communities where municipal council’s have demanded a moratorium. Onsorge commended Sicamous’ council, and believes, like Richard-
son, that as more people come onboard in requesting a moratorium, the province and the utility will have to listen. “At the Salmon Arm meeting, they encouraged the continuation of this effort by the grassroots because I believe they know there are serious issues,” said Onsorge. “And they believe that, if people take responsibility, it will make a difference.”

Ryder back onboard for Roots & Blues Known for her powerful vocal range, Serena Ryder has logged some serious tour miles across Canada, the U.S., Australia and Europe. And she’ll be stopping by for Roots and Blues in August. Ryder has earned two Canadian gold records, three Juno Awards and a No. 1 holiday single for Calling To Say. On her late-2006 debut for EMI Music, If Your Memory Serves You Well, she covered some of Canada’s finest songwriters. Ironically, it was the plainspoken heartache of Ryder’s own, entirely self-penned Weak in the Knees that propelled the record, earning her a Gold Single award. Her follow-up record, Is It OK, is at times palpably sad, vulnerable and even confused, but always strikingly real and in the moment. The album is also tough as nails where it counts – just listen to
the caustic roar Ryder brings to the standout rocker and first single, Little Bit of Red. “This whole record is about realizing that the more we think we know, the less we do know,” she insists. “It’s about me coming to terms with the fact that I’m imperfect, about being comfortable with feeling what I’m feeling and embracing being human in any way I possibly can.” Her immense growth as a songwriter is evident throughout the album, especially as Ryder is able to bring optimism and energy even to the record’s darker moments. Special advance ticket pricing for the 20th annual festival that runs Aug. 17 to 19 will be in place until May 25.

Why oppose inquiry, Christy? “This case still stinks.” The words are those of Leonard Krog, the NDP’s attorney general critic. The case to which he refers is the B.C. Rail scandal, in which former ministerial aides Dave Bassi and Bobby Virk pleaded guilty to charges of breach of trust. The charges were amended counts stemming from the investigation into the bribing of government officials by lobbyists who wanted access to secret documents relating to the sale of B.C. Rail. Despite their guilty pleas on the eve of what was to be the testimony of Gary Collins, the Liberal government paid Bassi and Virk’s legal bill — but no Liberal has ever explained why. Why would taxpayers foot the bill for two men who admitted their roles in a bribery scandal? It doesn’t make sense, which is one of the reasons cited by Abbotsford MLA John van Dongen in his decision to quit the Liberals and join the B.C. Conservatives. Van Dongen has even gone so far as to hire a lawyer to look into the unanswered questions relating to this sordid tale. Yet, Premier Christy Clark — who was deputy premier at the time of the scandal in 2003 — has rejected calls for a public inquiry into the matter. Why? Shouldn’t the premier — who has professed innocence in the case and, indeed, who was long ago cleared of any wrongdoing employed by Basi and Virk — want to know why the government of the day agreed to pay the legal bills of two men who admitted guilt? The fact this government refuses to divulge information to those who paid the tab is astonishing. A public inquiry would, at the least, enable the public to finally hear from those in government above Basi and Virk and, ultimately, lead to the unanswered question: Why did we pay the legal tabs of criminals? — Kamloops This Week

OPINION
It’s not an easy job being a bear It can’t be an easy job being a bear in the Province of British Columbia nowadays. What with human beings encroaching on their natural habitat, fluctuating and disappearing salmon runs, global warming (just thought I’d throw that one in) and trophy hunters, not to mention other things such as the proposed oil and gas pipelines that will cut through and divide their natural territories. It’s a lot to wake up to after a long winter’s hibernation – especially when you’re feeling grouchy and hungry. Many bears have come to associate people with food and subsequently head for landfill sites, dumpsters and people’s backyards in search of ‘easy’ food. This altering of bear behaviour, known as food conditioning, combined with a loss of fear of humans through repeated contact, known as habituation, more often than not, results in potentially dangerous, if not disastrous contact/conflict situations. Bears are pretty well always the losers in such situations. The most effective way to prevent and/or avert such conflicts is simply to put
THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray away or remove any food stuffs that might attract bears such as garbage, bird seed, compost and fruit that has fallen from trees. Keep garbage in the house or in a secured container, garage or shed until pick-up day and return the containers to their secured site once they’ve been emptied. Pick ripe and fallen fruit daily. Use bird feeders only in winter months and keep the nearby ground free of seeds and nuts. Clean your barbecue after each use and store it in a secured area. Store pet food inside and bring pet dishes inside as well. Do not put meat products or uncooked food into your compost and keep it covered. And, remember, if you do end up confronting a bear in your yard, remain
calm, and by all means keep away from the bear. If possible, bring children and pets indoors. Never approach or attempt to chase a bear, as bears can move very quickly. Once the bear has left the area, check the yard to ensure there are no attractants that will draw it back. Last year the province’s Conservation Officer Service received more than 23,240 reports of bear sightings. Officers attended more than 2,827 incidents where bears had been acting aggressively or public safety was an issue. As a result 675 black bears had to be destroyed, while another 175 bears were relocated. Also, an estimated 383 grizzly bears were killed in this province. While some were shot because they posed a threat to humans, 334 were shot by trophy hunters. Like I said, it can’t be an easy job being a bear in this province. Many people, especially in the Interior of the province, have chosen to live in rural and semi-rural areas – areas that bears also call home. By cutting down trees, clearing land and building homes in areas that were
once natural bear habitat, we have inadvertently encroached upon their natural territory. Ironically, it is human development that is displacing bears while at the same time luring them back into the same areas by leaving easy food lying around for them to feed on. It is also important to remember that when you are heading into the woods, you are likely entering into bear territory. Avoid contact at all costs. Bears are large, strong, fast and dangerous. They are also unpredictable. Bears also tend to become more brazen when they are hungry – especially when first coming out of hibernation or when they have become starved because natural food sources are limited or no longer available. While there is little food content in garbage, it is neverthe-less food and bears will do virtually anything to get at something to eat. A little common sense and due diligence will go a long way in preventing bear-human contacts and conflicts. Try to keep in mind, too, that it’s not an easy job being a bear.

MAIL BAG MP sidesteps on marijuana issue Re: Colin Mayes’ column in the Shuswap Market News. Colin Mayes has conveniently avoided the main issue in his opposition to legalizing marijuana. Marijuana is a cash crop. Why else would all these illegal grow-ops go to such expensive, highly-technical proce-
dures to maintain their operations? Take away the huge profit margin and it would flop just like any other business – legal or otherwise. Remember back in history when prohibition was tried, and what a fiasco that was? Now alcohol is legal yet abuse of it is ev-
ery bit as dangerous as any other drug. I presume Mayes is a total abstainer as I saw no mention of alcohol in his account. The medical licences sold by the government for marijuana grow-ops is a farce, as exposed on TV just recently. If the federal government is truly in-
terested in cost saving, then it should legalize marijuana, take the profit out of all these illegal sales and thus eliminate the high cost of all the prosecutions and court appearances of growers and distributors. Then, perhaps government could also afford to reverse its tam-
pering with the pension system and leave it at 65. Alli M. Graham 171 Hudson Avenue - Downtown Salmon Arm - 833-5541
ANNUAL 3-VALLEY GAP RETREAT “Responsibility Now, Prosperity for the Future”
Editorial cartoon misses the mark Come on! The “cartoon” in the March 30 edition of the Shuswap Market News of the two bears and hunter wasn’t even topical. Bears are not on the endangered species list
in B.C. Looks like the Market News had some blank space to fill. Try to remember that a lot of your readers are ethical hunters and are the main source of conservation dollars that
goes into B.C. wildlife habitats. You not only belittle and insult a number of your hunter/readers but also your advertisers who sell to those of us who hunt and fish.
Talk about biting the hand that feeds you! Never hurts to do a little research before putting your best foot forward.

MP spreads misinformation on marijuana uang’s comment about their brains becoming poisoned exposes his obvious lack of knowledge about cannabis, and reassures my point that the doctor is not an expert on cannabis and its effects on its consumers. I have a question for Colin Mayes and all the other prohibitionists out there. Why do you people never talk about the millions upon millions of people around the world that used cannabis regularly as youths and then moved on in adulthood to become productive members of society?

The truth is there’s many successful stories behind successful people that included cannabis use when they were young, and I’m quite positive there will be many, many more in the future. Unless of course they have to answer to a legal system about their cannabis use, a system that has destroyed futures, torn apart families, and financially bankrupted people for choosing to consume a substance far less toxic than the

In response to MP Colin Mayes: Your ignorance of cannabis is obvious Mr. Mayes, and relying on a journalist to be your source of expertise is irresponsible to say the least. As for the psychiatrist with 30 years of experience, I think you should ask him why we have not seen the same increase with mental illness rates as we’ve seen with cannabis use among the youth in the last 30 years or more? Because there is no definitive link between cannabis use and mental illness, that’s why. Dr. Henry T. Ch-

Fund a tribute to trustee A dedicated school trustee who lost her life in December is being honoured in a way that would have made her very proud and touched her heart. Lisa Rolland, school board trustee for the Carlin/Sorrento area, died Dec. 30 of an aggressive form of cancer. Rolland had been re-elected for a third term to the position on the School District #83 board in the Nov. 19 municipal elections. Board chair Bobbi Johnson had worked with Rolland for the six years she spent on the board. “We are devastated by Lisa’s loss. She was a hardworking trustee who cared deeply for the welfare of our school district’s students,” she said. “As the trustee for Carlin/Sorrento she was very involved with those two schools on a regular basis. She had a special place in

Probus meets Gary Koo reports the response to a new Probus Club in Sorrento has been terrific. Probus is a local association of retired and
semi-retired persons with professional, business or management experience, and others who have had some measure of responsibility in a field of worthy endeavour. They should be a person of character and respected in their communities. Clubs meet regularly for fellowship and to hear guest speakers. Probus is not a senior citizens or lonely hearts’ club. Its basic purpose is to provide regular opportunities in promotion of healthy minds, bodies and, through social interaction and activities, expand personal interest while enjoying the fellowship of new friends. It provides a bridge from the working environment to getting to enjoy things with people of the same age group. Probus also allows newcomers rapid entry See Cedar on page 9

Website helps citizens re-use rather than dump Trash or treasure, it all depends on the eye of the beholder. Before you put what you don’t want in the garbage, consider it’s possible use to someone else. And, you might even make some money in the process. The Columbia Shuswap Regional District’s re-use website is a popular site where members can offer items for sale up to a value of $99, post items for free or requests for items they want for themselves. People can also post services. “If you’re having a yard sale or cleaning out your garage and want people to know, or if you want to know if other people are having a yard sale, you can post it for free,” says Carmen Fennell, CSRD waste reduction facilitator. Organizations such as churches and other non-profit groups are also welcome to post their garage or rummage sales, ski swap, sports swaps, etc. for free. The site at www.scrdreuses.ca has been up and running for three years and is considered to be a success, says Fennell.
“We had almost 10,000 visits in 2011 with 400 items or events listed on the site,” Fennell says. “We’re still getting new listings for goods every month and new members. And, so far this year we have had 2,000 site visits.” Shuswap residents can also dispose of organic waste for free at all CSRD landfills and transfer stations now until May 13 during regular hours of opera-

Friday, April 6, 2012 Shuswap Market News
A pioneer story from Blind Bay SHUSWAP PASSION Jim Cooperman It is always a joy to discover articles or books about Shuswap history. Thus, when the copy of In those Days – The Reedman Family Story arrived in the mail, the thin book was read quickly with interest. John Reedman, who was often called the “mayor” of Blind Bay, was one of the first to homestead there. One of the most fascinating portions of this book, written by Isabelle Reedman who was married to Ken, one of the family patriarch’s many grandsons, is the description of why the Reedman’s decided to emigrate and how they ended up in the Shuswap. Her research included interviews with family elders, and was aided by the diaries and journals of John’s son Archie, who passed away in 1958. Stories like these, of how the pioneers arrived in the Shuswap, provide us
with insight about the motives of the original settlers and help us understand how our communities formed. The Reedman family hailed from Stamford, England, where they had lived for generations. It flourished in the Middle Ages as one of England’s prime wool towns, but although it later declined in importance it was still recognized as one of the country’s best-preserved medieval towns. John was born in 1855 into an upper-class family and he ran the family furniture business. As well, he was an auctioneer, an occasional tea-taster and a government representative who helped levy taxes in five parishes. It was when the government passed a new bill imposing an unpopular poll tax that life in England began to unravel for John.

fate intervened when a fellow lodger at their hotel introduced them to another recent immigrant from a town close to their hometown of Stamford, Frank Barnard. Frank had a son, Arthur, who had also scouted out potential areas to homestead the previous year. He, along with a friend, had travelled to Salmon Arm and Fortunes Landing (now Enderby), and explored the Shuswap on logging trails using a rented wagon and team of oxen. They were most impressed with Blind Bay and thus the Barnards decided to homestead there after completing work in Calgary. When Frank heard about John’s plans to settle in Saskatchewan, he told him, “You can’t take a young wife there, you’ll kill her!” As luck would have it, the Reedmans missed their train and the next day they joined the Barnards and journeyed to Notch Hill. Finally, on May 6, 1905, John and Harry left the others to set up the tents and, after taking a few wrong trails, they emerged at Blind Bay to witness the pristine beauty of the lake with the mountains in the distance still covered in snow.

his first marriage. He grew fond of her and they soon fell in love and married. This union set “tongues wagging” in the class-conscious England of the early 1900s and some former friends were hurtful to Florence. That was the last straw for John and the emigration posters, such as one that said, “Go to British Columbia” depicting an apple tree with silver dollars on its branches, began to look very attractive to him. He sent Harry, his oldest son, first, to reconnoiter and report back. His letters were filled with enthusiasm and he found both Alberta and Saskatchewan particularly appealing. Meanwhile, back in England, John and Florence started a family and began making plans to leave. Finally, on April 6, 1905, John and his family boarded the steamer “Virginian” and sailed to Canada. It took ten days to cross the Atlantic and another six days before they arrived by train in Calgary, where they met Harry and, a few days later, celebrated John’s 50th birthday. Their plan was to journey to Lloydminster, Sask., where Harry had found good farming land, but

Cancer society spreads hope with blooms By Barb Brouwer MARKET NEWS STAFF
Think hope and courage and wear a yellow daffodil. Every three minutes another person is called
to the challenge to fight back– fight back against cancer. The Canadian Cancer Society, B.C. and Yukon, stepped up the fight in 2010 by launching the daffodil
pin as part of its annual Daffodil Month. “The daffodil is a badge of courage and hope to show support for those affected by cancer,” says Cheryl
Cruikshank, Salmon Arm Unit Daffodil Campaign chair. “By wearing the pin, we let everyone know that people with cancer are not alone on their
cancer journey.” The local unit of the Canadian Cancer Society will host a Daffodil Day celebration in front of their Shuswap Park Mall office from
11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, April 13. There will be an opportunity to get your daffodil pin, sign a “Field of Hope” banner and mingle with local government reps,
Cancer Society volunteers and people on their journey with cancer.

Candidates seeking BC Conservative Party nomination By Tracy Hughes MARKET NEWS STAFF
Shuswap residents will have an opportunity to meet some new faces from a political party that hopes to challenge the Liberal domination in this riding in the May 2013 election. Three candidates are vying for the right to represent the BC Conservative Party in the Shuswap riding: Tom Birch, Ed Klopp and Maureen Walker. Birch, a Salmon Arm resident since 1998, has worked for non-profits and in the forest industry, where he is currently employed as a project manager for a Vancouver-based forestry software company. “I am passionate in the belief that democracy is the people’s government and that we must re-engage those who are disillusioned with it,” he says. “Our youth particularly need to see how their participation does make a difference. We need to revive the concept of citizenship and work together to make our region, our province and our country greater for our having been here.” Klopp, a resident of Sorrento, has been a trucker, property developer and, since moving to the Shuswap in 2010, owner of an asphalt repair company. During his time in Alberta, Klopp was involved with the federal Reform Party and the Wildrose Alliance Party. “We need to stop expecting the government to keep fixing everything and expect taxes to go down at the same time. We can’t stay on the tax-andspend spree that happened with the NDP in the ’90s and still is with the Liberal government to date... We need smaller, more transparent government making tough decisions.” Walker, a native of northern B.C., moved to the Enderby area in 1997 and is the former owner of the North Valley Echo newspaper. She is currently working for Community Futures Shuswap. Walker stresses her vast knowledge of the Shuswap region, its businesses and people, from both her work and as an active community volunteer. “I am passionate about this province and feel that the BC Conservative Party is the only alternative to the current provincial government.” The three candidates will be available to meet and chat with the public on Friday, April 13 from 4 to 6 p.m. at Toby’s Restaurant in Sorrento. A similar event will be held on Saturday, April 14 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Choices Restaurant in Salmon Arm. Coffee and dessert will be available by donation.

Shape the future of city’s recreation You’re invited to fulfill an important role. Help shape the future of parks and recreation in Salmon Arm. The City of Salmon Arm will be holding a public workshop on Wednesday, April 11, 6 to 8 p.m. at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort, to help set priorities, goals and objectives for the next 10 years, with a 20-year horizon. The workshop will provide input which will help form the city’s parks and recreation master plan, as well as the cemetery master plan. “Public input is key to success,” says the city’s Brad Ackerman, noting the plans will influence future budget decisions. A first draft will be prepared with a second public workshop to be held, probably in July.

Enderby council wants pot decriminalized By Richard Rolke BLACK PRESS
Enderby politicians want marijuana decriminalized and taxed. A majority of council voted Monday to ask senior government to regulate cannabis as a way of reducing crime, rationalizing police resources and creating a new source of revenue for communities. “We’re not saying we agree with marijuana but the current process is not working and it fuels the gangs,” said Mayor Howie Cyr, a former RCMP officer. “Instead of throwing countless people into jail (for marijuana possession) and spending money on enforcement, treat it like cigarettes or prescription drugs.” Cyr believes marijuana-related investiga-
tions, which can take years, can be a drain on policing resources, and they prevent authorities from dealing with other matters. “Smaller communities paying for policing are being hit really hard.” Cyr suggests a new approach to marijuana could also benefit those who use the substance. “We need to regulate it and tax it and put money into education and rehabilitation,” he said. Lone opposition came from Coun. Beryl Ludwig. “Any drug addicts or former addicts you talk to say they started with marijuana,” she said. “Marijuana is the gateway to harder drugs.” Ludwig admits,
though, that she understands the concerns about drug-related crime and police officers spending time on marijuana grow-ops that keep surfacing in the community. “It would be nice to have the taxes from marijuana but would the taxes be enough to pay for the people that need rehabilitation?” she said. “It’s hard to legalize something that wrecks so many lives.” The officer in charge of the North Okanagan RCMP was reluctant to comment on Enderby council’s decision. “The RCMP’s position is the politicians make the laws and we enforce them,” said Supt. Reg Burgess. “At this point, we are going with the laws
given to us to enforce and there is no change there.” Council decided to lobby for cannabis control after a request from Stop the Violence B.C., which advocates for a new approach to marijuana. “The coalition, along with other organizations such as the Health Officers Council of B.C. and the Canadian Public Health Association, believes that a strictly regulated legal market for marijuana could better control availability of the drug while at the same time starve organized crime of this enormous cash cow,” said Evan Wood, Stop the Violence B.C. spokesperson and a University of B.C. professor of medicine.

SPORTS Parent meetings set for April 10 The excitement is building and, as usual at this time of year, everything is happening at once. This article will try to touch on all the news, but don’t forget to check our website for all notices, updates and information at www. ShuswapSoccer.com. • Three- to fiveyear-olds: Wow! More than 150 players registered. Timbits program co-ordinator Steve Miller is hosting a brief parent meeting downstairs at the rec centre (by Kids Club) on Tuesday, April 10. Parents of the U3 and U4 players (born 2008/09) will start at 6:30 p.m. and the U5 (born 2007) parents will start at 7 p.m. This will provide an overview of what to expect and give you a chance to get answers to any questions you may have. • Six- to 18-year-
ON THE PITCH Kevin Harrison olds: We are in the process of putting teams together and all house players will be getting a call or email about their team within the next few days. We know the players get anxious but this is something that has to happen after as many registrations have been processed as possible, so it’s one of the last jobs to be done. Although we have waitlists for most younger age groups, we are still happily accepting registrations for the U14/15 and
U16-18 age groups. If you have a player who has decided to play, it’s not too late. Have them put down the cell phones and game controllers and get outside for some fresh air and exercise. For younger waitlist players – if there is enough interest, more teams will be formed, so be sure to complete your waitlist registration. The Shuswap Youth Soccer Association has hosted three great coaching clinics in the last two weeks that have been very well attended. We were lucky enough to have two of these instructed by Canadian National A Licence coach John Antulov. Thanks to everyone who took the time for these. It makes a huge difference to the kids. The often overlooked but essential
piece of the puzzle is our referee contingent. The Shuswap region has always been lucky to have a strong and reliable referee pool. Entry level and refresher courses have been completed locally and we’re planning to hold the small-sided referee beginner and refresher on Saturday, April 14. Location to be determined; check website. If your player is ages 12-14 years and is interested in getting started with refereeing to earn a bit of money, this is the place to start. Check our website for details. Click on the referee tab. The Select programs have begun with a couple of teams already having played their first matches further south down the valley where fields
are dried and safe for play. The U6-18 house programs are all slated to start on Wednesday, April 18 but due to Mother Nature’s lazy start to spring this date could change. The Shuswap Recreation Society is monitoring fields closely, but what the weather will do between now and then is anyone’s guess. Check with our website for up-to-theminute info on field openings, referee and coaching information, or email us at: admin@shuswapsoccer. com or exdirector@ shuswapsoccer.com or call the office at 250-833-5607.

China facing financial crash GLOBAL VIEWS Gwynne Dyer Building a skyscraper is the ultimate expression of economic confidence â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and more than half of the 124 skyscrapers under construction in the world are being built in China. But, confidence is often based on nothing more than faith, hope and cheap credit, and a frenzy of skyscraper-building is also the most reliable historical indicator of an impending financial crash. The Petronas Towers in Malaysia were built just before the Asian financial crash of 1998. Burj al-Khalifa in Dubai, now the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tallest building, was just starting construction when the Great Recession hit in 2008. China avoided that recession by flooding its economy with cheap credit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but, that credit has mainly gone into financing the biggest property and infrastructure-building boom of all time. Such booms always end in a crash â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but, this time, we are told, will be different. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This time will be differentâ&#x20AC;? is the traditional formula used to
reassure nervous investors in the last years before a great economic bubble collapses. People in the West want to believe Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy will go on growing fast because the fragile recovery in Western economies depends on it. Twenty years of 10 per cent-plus annual growth have made China the engine of the world economy, even though most Chinese remain poor. But, the engine is fuelled by cheap credit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and most of that money has gone into real estate. Take the city of Wuhan, southwest of Shanghai and about 500 kilometres in from the coast. It is only Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ninth-largest city but, in addition to a skyscraper half as high as the Empire State Building, it is building a subway system that will cost $45 billion, two new airports, a whole new financial district and hundreds of thousands of new housing units. It is paying for all this with cheap loans from state-run banks. Last year, Wuhan municipality spent $22 billion on infrastructure and housing projects, although its tax revenues were only one-fifth of that amount. The bank loans were made to special investment corporations and do not appear on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books. The only collateral the banks have is city-
owned land â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and that is not a reliable asset in current circumstances. Land in Wuhan has tripled in price during the property boom and could quickly fall back to the old price or below if confidence was to falter. That is quite likely to happen, since Wuhanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s housing stock is already so overbuilt that it would take eight years to clear even the existing overhang of unsold apartments at the current rate of purchase. Multiply the Wuhan example by hundreds of other municipal authorities also borrowing billions to finance a similar â&#x20AC;&#x153;dash for growth,â&#x20AC;? and you have a financial situation as volatile as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;subprime mortgageâ&#x20AC;? scam that brought the U.S. economy to its knees. Except that, when the Chinese property boom implodes, it may bring the whole world economy to its knees. It would be nice to think the worst of the recession is over in the developed countries and the emerging economies will continue to avoid a recession at all. But, sometimes the cure can be worse than the disease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have had a good crisis, success can become a curse,â&#x20AC;? wrote Albert Edwards, chief economist at the French bank SocietĂŠ GĂŠnĂŠrale, in late 2010. At that point, Chinese bank lending had

almost doubled in three years; it has now almost tripled in four. The government knows the property bubble is dangerous and is trying to switch spending to consumption, but that is a delicate operation that has to be done slowly and there just isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough time. China is heading for a classic â&#x20AC;&#x153;hard landingâ&#x20AC;? and, when it comes, it will slow the whole global economy to stall speed. The next global recession is not far off, it will be at least as bad as the last one and this time few of the emerging economies (except perhaps Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) will be exempt. Nobody knows what will happen in China itself when growth stops and unemployment soars, but the Communist regime is clearly frightened of the answer. Maybe it can ride the crisis out until growth
resumes at a slower pace in a few years, but with its Communist ideals long abandoned, its only remaining claim on peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loyalty has been its ability to deliver constantly rising prosperity. If that collapses, so may the regime.

Community rallies for family By Lynda Hooper MARKET NEWS STAFF
Mike Hall had eaten dinner Thursday, March 29 with his friends and neighbours, the Fennells, less than an hour before he looked out his window to see the orange glow of flames next door. Hall rushed over about 10 p.m. to find his friend holding a garden hose on his engulfed Chase Falkland Road home in an effort to keep the flames from spreading. Ed Fennell has been raising his family on his own for the past nine years following the death of his wife. Fennell’s four children plus an additional young man, a friend of his son, are aged between 12 and 18. Fennell’s new girlfriend
had just moved into the house as well. All escaped the fire that destroyed the family home without injury, but were left with just the shirts on their backs. They are currently staying in temporary quarters in a Chase area motel. Fennell told police the fire started in the laundry room and spread quickly. He did not call 911 because he knew the property was outside the Chase fire protection area. Outside of fire protection areas, the building insurance is expensive, about $4,000 per year for an averagesized home. Fennell did not have insurance to cover the loss of his property. The next day, a passerby driving down Chase Creek Road,
noticed the fire at 1608 Chase Falkland Rd. was still burning, and called 911. Chase RCMP Constable Brian Kukhta responded to the call about 5 p.m. Friday, March 30, and suffered second degree burns to his foot while attempting to ensure there were no victims in the burning structure. Hydro was later called in to cut the power on the downed electrical lines. The home’s woodstove was not being used at the time, and while the fire does not appear to be suspicious, RCMP are continuing their investigation. A friend of the Fennell family, Tina Coates, got busy putting out a notice on Facebook regarding the devastating event,

By Friday afternoon there was already a big community response to Coates and another friend wanting to help, having recently experienced a similar loss. Haldane Elementary and Chase Secondary schools had been collecting clothing and household furnishings. By Monday, April 2, Fennell was able to collect a complete houseful including a washer/ dryer set.

Trottier and Simm give audience a thrill Fiddle and guitar duo, Kelli Trottier from Ontario and Greg Simm from Nova Scotia, performed to a full house on March 23 at the Chase Seniors Centre. The duo grabbed the attention of their audience from the start and kept them entertained throughout. The varied
performance included fiddle tunes from across Canada, songs and even a lively step dance. Trottier also played and sang some of her original tunes, including a lovely ballad called The Homeplace. Trottier and Simm created a warm rapport with the audience as
they joked about everything, from what it was like to work together to the trains going by during the show. The show ended with a standing ovation and a couple of encores. Their two-week tour took them to many areas of the province, starting on Vancouver Island,
up to Prince George and ending in Castlegar. They said, with such a warm showing at all of their shows, they hope to return to B.C. in the near future. Perry Recording studio provided the sound for the show and Ella Duheme did a great job as emcee.

Many ways to support museum Eye Safety Much clean-up activity has been underway at the Chase Museum. The hazardous materials team received a clean bill of health from Work Safe BC with air quality readings registering much better than required. The repairs to the building are more comprehensive than originally planned with the removal of the beautiful barrel ceiling in the old building being necessary. Particles of old insulation containing traces of asbestos were found to have sifted down into the tongue and groove ceiling, necessitating its removal. Walls have been stripped down to bare studs. Both walls and ceiling are now being prepared to accept new, improved insulation and drywall. The floor which was once multilevel, causing difficulty for visitors with mobility issues, will now be made all one level. The old choir loft, which was severely damaged in the fires, has been removed, thus creating more open space for future exhibit development. New exterior siding with vastly improved fire safety ratings will soon be installed and both entrances to the building will be repaired.

As time goes on, there continues to be a need for volunteers for construction, artifact conservation, docents (museum guides), gardeners and fundraisers. Anyone unable to work as a volunteer may help by attending the major fundraiser of the year on July 14, the Heritage Golf Classic. It includes dinner, dance and silent auction. Tickets for just the after-golf portion of the event are available too. Donations of golf prizes or silent auction items will also be gratefully accepted. There are so many ways to be part of this great community spirit building experience that there is sure to be some way to get involved.

All proceeds from this concert will help support the 2012 Shuswap Music Festival held April 12-25.

New chamber board installed VILLAGE VOICE Lynda Hooper An article in the Chase Tribune, Jan. 17, 1912 issue with the headline, ‘Board of Trade Elects Officers’ announced the first executive for the newly started Chase Board of Trade. We know this because it said so on the place mat at the Chase Chamber of Commerce annual general meeting held Tuesday, March 27 at the Creekside Senior’s Centre. It was a copy of the top half of a front page with a cartoon drawn by Jerome Howard Smith. Aside from announcing the newly elected board of directors, a celebration of the Chase Board of Trade’s 100th anniversary was also on the agenda. Jerome HowardSmith married Amy, daughter to Whit and Betsy Chase. Amy had been living with her Aunt Mary Smith (sister to Whitfield) while going to Pleasant Valley in Illinois, when she met Howard-Smith. He was lead illustrator for the New York magazine, Puck, when they wed and moved west, settling into the Chase Ranch. Howard-Smith became an illustrator for the Chase Tribune. As an artist he preferred painting western landscapes, often with horses and cowboys, which he created in a studio on the ranch. Coun. David Lepsoe, also an historian in Chase, provided the materials to make the entertaining place mats; each setting had one of the four different Howard-Smith cartoons. Ray Murray gave the blessing before the sharing of a wonder-

April means spring is here, a time to enjoy the budding of flowers and other new beginnings. For many of us spring brings renewed energy and interest in our overall health. The mouth is often described as being the gateway to the rest of the body. Maintaining good oral health is an important part of being healthy. We are now learning that poor oral health may be linked to chronic diseases such as diabetes heart disease and respiratory illness. Maintaining a healthy mouth and body is all about prevention. Here are a few tips to help you spring forward with a healthy smile! Brush your teeth every day, twice a day. Brushing daily helps to remove plaque that causes tooth decay and gum disease. If you use a power toothbrush, choose one
that has a rotation/oscillation action. Fluoride toothpaste will help keep the outer layer of the teeth hard and resistant to the acids that cause tooth decay. Floss your teeth every day, once a day. Flossing daily helps remove plaque from between the teeth. If flossing is difficult, floss holders can make it easier. If you have braces or bridges, interdental brushes are an alternative. Eat and drink well. Foods that are nutritionally healthy are also good for your oral health. Limiting sweet, sticky snack foods and sugary drinks will reduce the number of acid attacks on your teeth. Drink less sugar and more water. Sugary drinks increase the risk of tooth decay. Plain water is the best thirst quencher, especially between meals, and it is also good for your teeth. Visit your dental professional. Regular check-ups
