# BC Ambulance Service Sicamous Unit Chief Kathy Crandlemire gives the Shuswap’s new emergency boat a hug as it’s dropped off late Wednesday afternoon. Crandlemire has been angling for several years to get a vessel in the Shuswap dedicated to on-water medical emergencies, about 40 of which occur annually. The boat, brought in through the Shuswap Emergency Program, will be operated by volunteers with the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary. It will be another month before the vessel is fully operational, as crews continue with familiarization training.

CSRD won’t act to stop smart meters Presentation: Installation of new devices in the Shuswap 80 per cent done. By Barb Brouwer
Marine Park, others sat quietly in the boardroom for the 15-minute presentation by Jennifer Walker-Larsen and Mora Scott. Media relations rep Walker-Larsen described the program, which is legislated under B.C.’s Clean Energy Act, and said current infrastructure is provided by 1960s technology that needs to be brought into the 21st century.

A presentation on smart meters by BC Hydro attracted about 25 protesters and drew criticism from directors at last week’s Columbia Shuswap Regional District board meeting. While some protesters held signs and passed out pamphlets outside the regional district building at

Scott explained that BC Hydro is more than halfway finished installing smart meters in the province. In terms of the regional district, she said the utility is about 80 per cent complete in the Shuswap and 15 per cent in the Salmon Arm area. She said current technology prevents hydro from tracking power outages or theft.

“We operate blind, we have no feedback on the grid to get information on how we’re operating,” she said, noting that because the utility has no way of tracking, more electricity than needed is actually sent down the lines to ensure all customers get the proper voltage. Scott explained how the smart meter’s one-watt radio transmitter works and
said the resulting data collection would enable homeowners to make smart choices about “tools” they want to use. Area F North Shuswap director Larry Morgan challenged not only the “smart” technology, but the manner in which he said British Columbians were made aware of the switch from analog See Meters on page 3

City man faces charges for riot A Salmon Arm man accused of being involved in last year’s Stanley Cup riot is now formally facing charges. Andrew Comber, who is charged with participating in a riot, mischief and arson, was arrested Saturday in his Salmon Arm home, said Sgt. Howard Chow, media relations officer for the Integrated Riot Investigation Team. Comber, 38, allegedly lit a stuffed bear on fire and threw it onto an
overturned truck during the riots, which took place after the Vancouver Canucks loss to Boston in the Stanley Cup finals on June 15, 2011. Fans angry at losing to the Boston Bruins went on a rampage in downtown Vancouver, causing millions of dollars in damage. Police say Comber had painted himself green and was very active on the night of the riot. He was spotted taunting police in many
locations, an RCMP release says.
Boat stolen In the early morning hours of April 4, a boat was stolen from a Tappen residence. It is a 2011 model 20-foot Harbourcraft, which is white and grey and has a 150 HP Mercury outboard and a 9.9 Mercury outboard with a trailer. Anyone with information is asked to contact the RCMP detachment.
meters. “The issue I’m having is the incredible pressure from my constituents about radiation and invasion of personal privacy,” he said. Scott acknowledged that some residents have had concerns and questions because of “a ton of misinformation,” but said BC Hydro has staff available to speak personally with anyone. “These one-on-one calls have converted more than 2,600 people by telling them the facts,” she said, adding callers have also been directed to other agencies such as Health Canada for more information. Not satisfied, Morgan suggested the public should be able to express their concerns and that the matter should go back to the provincial government for further review before moving the program forward. He later asked directors to support him in making a motion to send a letter to the province, the B.C. Utilities Commission and BC Hydro to halt the program until safety and privacy issues could be dealt with satisfactorily. Morgan’s motion was supported by Area D Falkland-Silver CreekRanchero director René Talbot, Sicamous Mayor Darrell Trouton and
Area E Rural Sicamous director Rhona Martin, but a tie vote was broken by acting chair Dave Raven and so defeated. Talbot said he had received many emails from people complaining their rates had soared and were told by BC Hydro that they hadn’t previously been paying for the amount of electricity they were using – something Scott partially attributed to human error made by meter readers. “We’re getting more calls than normal but we found that in 99 per cent of cases, it shows customers their consumption is actually happening,” she said. “They just don’t realize they we’re getting billed for previous months, the winter, (Christmas) holidays.” Sicamous Mayor Darrell Trouton said he was more concerned about the installation program than the technology. “It’s about how it’s been put onto the public, it’s similar to HST – ‘this is what we’re doing and how we’re doing it,’” he said, noting he would like hydro to make a presentation to the Sicamous community. “The public is who we’re working for and we need to do it another way.” Martin had issues as well, telling the hydro reps she is not convinced smart meters are necessary.
BARB BROUWER/MARKET NEWS
# Members of the Coalition to Stop Smart Meters protested outside the CSRD offices. “I was looking forward to this presentation because I have only heard negatives,” she said, noting directors have a responsibility to listen to all their constituents, including those who have sensitivities to such things as radio waves, fluorescent lighting, etc. “To me it would make more sense to replace lines rather than new meters.” In response to a question about honouring property owners’ requests to refrain from installing smart meters, Scott acknowledged only that installation would be deferred. As to the 39 B.C. communities who have signed moratoriums on the installation of smart meters, Scott reminded directors the program is legislated and is due to be complete by the end of the year. In addressing Martin’s concerns about privacy and hacking issues, Scott said the system is secure. “You can see kilowatts per hour and see
when consumption is, but just looking at the data, it would be very difficult,” she said. “People could get a lot more information going through your garbage or watching your house.” Following the presentation, disappointed protester Barb Makota said directors had not been told that the World Health Organization has classified the meters as a carcinogen or that Health Canada’s safety codes are “outdated and do little to protect our health.” Makota also expressed concerns about residents being “blanketed” by frequencies from routers and that babies, pregnant women, the sick and the elderly are more susceptible to the frequencies. In response to disappointment on the part of the protesters who wanted to ask questions at the board meeting, Raven advised the hydro presentation was simply to provide information to directors and not an open forum.

Making music two at a time By Barb Brouwer MARKET NEWS STAFF
Striving to introduce Shuswap audiences to the depth of incredible talent living and working in the Thompson, Shuswap and Okanagan, Kelly and Blu Hopkins host the second of three singer-songwriter concerts Friday, April 27 at 7:30 p.m. at SAGA Public Art Gallery. “The Songwriters Showcase Series highlights the accomplishments of songwriters in a songwriters’ circle format,” says Kelly. “The performers have an opportunity to present and perform their songs, as well as explain the creative process which led to the creation of each piece.” Last month’s showcase played to a packed house and another showcase is planned for May. In the meantime, there’s lots of good music to be heard this Friday. First up, it’s The Wild Oaks, the talented songwriting combination of Jacob Verburg and Jesse Clarke. A few jams in the spring of 2011 led to a collaboration that both young men describe as incredibly creative
and fulfilling. Together they write music that displays their talents as songwriters and musicians. Another successful musical collaboration, One Camel Short, is Richard Owings on five-string violin, and Murray MacDonald on guitar, vocals and percussion. Over the past 13 years, the acoustic duo has created a repertoire of exquisitely-crafted music, much of it original and drawing on sounds and stories from places across the planet. Live in concert, or on their self-titled CD released in 2011, One Camel Short has taken many a listener on a memorable musical journey. The third duo to share their talent Friday evening is Linz Kenyon and Gillian Cran, who met at Caravan Farm Theatre in the early 1980s. They have been making beautiful music together for more than 20 years. Cran belongs to the hugely talented local family that boasts artists, filmmakers, actors, teachers, musicians and photographers. She is said to hold the distinction
of being involved in more Caravan shows than any other “Caravan-er,” be it playing cello, saxophone or flute, driving the big horses, or doing a number of chores. Kenyon is a cowboy, poet, singer-songwriter and theatre playwright. He has been writing songs and playing music all his life and cherishes his appearance in the first Stein Valley Music Festival in Mount Currie, B.C. performing on the same stage as Gordon Lightfoot, Bruce Cockburn and Blue Rodeo. Kenyon is currently working on two future Caravan productions, one a winter show and the other, an environmental tragedy for which he and former Caravan artistic director Estelle Shook received a Canada Council grant. “We are looking forward to introducing some of our brand new tunes to the audience,” says Kenyon of Friday night’s showcase. “Three cheers to Silvercreek Productions for taking on a job that’s long been needed in the Shuswap area.” Tickets are $10 and are available at Acorn Music.

Swapping personas leads to better understanding Get ready to laugh again. After a very successful run of Leading Ladies, Shuswap Theatre presents Alan Ayckbourn’s If I Were You. This final show of a very entertaining 35th season is sure to relate to any man or woman who has found it difficult to communicate with the opposite sex. Jill Rodale, played by Elaine Holmes – seen in Renovation; The Musical, and Heartbreak House, is trying to figure out what is best for her and her family when she finds that her husband is having a fling. Her husband Mal,
played by Rich Daniels of local radio fame, is a man in a mess. He can’t communicate with anyone – his wife, his son, his employees, his girlfriend or his customers. As in all of Ayckbourn’s plays, this one has to have a gimmick. For example, Taking Steps took place on three different storeys, but all the stair climbing took place on one level. This time the set is the home of the Rodales, which switches to Mal’s furniture store. But since one switch is not enough, when Jill and Mal have frustratingly come to the
end or their respective ropes they switch personas. It’s amazing how a woman in her husband’s body can solve most of their problems and how a man in a his wife’s body can finally relate to his son – played by Arik Kreipe; learn a great deal from his daughter, Chrissie, played by Tracy Moore, and finally give his son-in-law, played by J.P. Lord, just what he needs. Director James Bowlby and producer, Teresa McKerral guarantee you a night to remember, and one filled with laughter. The show opens Friday, April 27 to
To all residents of Salmon Arm and the surrounding area: I would like to take this opportunity to invite the entire community to join me for a SilverBacks open forum meeting at 6:00p.m. on Wednesday, May 2nd in the Council Chambers at Salmon Arm City Hall.

Silver lining in Canucks’ exit from playoffs Well, that was quick. Like removing a bandage with a mighty yank rather than a slow, painful pull, perhaps the Vancouver Canucks’ early exit from the NHL playoffs is for the best. Despite finishing the regular season with the most points, a second straight run at the Stanley Cup didn’t seem assured. Questions about the ability of goaltender Roberto Luongo to win big games lingered. The team’s scoring seemed to dry up late in the season. Its powerplay had been dormant since January. And coach Alain Vigneault’s penchant for juggling line combinations nearly every game meant you couldn’t tell who would be playing with whom without a program. The reunion of the Sedin twins in game four against the Los Angeles Kings after Daniel had missed more than a month with a head injury gave the Canucks a win and their fans a glimmer of hope. But in the end, it just delayed the inevitable. The Canucks may not have given us the drama and excitement of another Stanley Cup run, but pause for a moment to think about what they have given us. Instead of being cooped up inside through May and early June watching hockey games, we’ll be able to enjoy our spring evenings in the garden or on the patio. Police can keep their riot shields and batons in storage. Businesses in downtown Vancouver won’t have to stockpile plywood to protect their windows. We can be spared the sight of those ubiquitous car flags flapping in the breeze. Thank you Vancouver Canucks for breaking our hearts yet again. And giving us our spring back. –New Westminster News Leader

OPINION
Fishing a great choice for families I got back from holidays to read, with interest, about our city council giving its approval for the Fish and Wildlife branch of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations to stock sterile rainbow trout in McGuire Lake as part of a program to encourage and promote youth and family fishing. I also read a letter to the editor regarding the plight of painted turtles in the lake. While I do not wish to wade into these particular waters, I do feel that level heads should be able to work things out so that kids can fish and turtles will be able to exist, unharmed by curious young anglers. McGuire Lake is a nice place for families to spend time together. Whether fishing or simply observing nature, it can, and should, be shared by all. This morning I also received an email from Owen Bird of the Family Fishing Society of B.C. reminding me that this year’s Family Fishing Weekend – June 15 to 17 is less than two months away. The email went on to say that some 50 communi-
THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray ties, Salmon Arm included, will be hosting a Family Fishing Weekend event. Although the Family Fishing Weekend program was originally devised to help rebuild angler demographics following a significant decline in both tidal and freshwater sport fishing licence sales, it would be an understatement to say the program has been a success. “The Family Fishing Weekend is an especially popular annual program designed to develop new anglers. Our goal is to encourage British Columbians, especially young people, to go fishing and have fun with family and friends,” says Bird. Incorporated as a non-
profit society in 2002, the Family Fishing Society of B.C. is mandated to encourage and develop new anglers, as well as promote and coordinate the BC Family Fishing Weekend. The society’s primary objective is to encourage British Columbians to take up recreational angling as a pastime, and to enjoy B.C.’s many world-class sport fishing opportunities. This year an estimated 25,000 people will make use of the province’s threeday free freshwater fishing licence to try their hand at angling. “Once you’ve tried angling in B.C.’s supernatural outdoors, we think you’ll be hooked,” says Bird. “Each year the Family Fishing Society of BC helps coordinate dozens of special community fishing events that attract over 10,000 B.C. residents.” The annual Salmon Arm Kids Fishing Derby, which, alone, locally attracts an estimated 600 to 800 people down to the wharf at Marine Park on Father’s Day, is one such event. This year’s derby will be
the sixteenth year that the derby has taken place. As in previous years, the derby is open to all children 12 years and under and there is no cost to enter the derby. The only restrictions are that participants must wear a lifejacket or PFD, be accompanied by an adult and be willing to have fun. Todd Hooper and Nathan Meakes are two local ardent anglers who have taken it upon themselves to put on a series of introductory fishing workshops for kids and parents at McGuire Lake beginning in May. I commend them for their efforts. I understand that part of their approach to angling is to teach young anglers respect for the environment. This is good. McGuire Lake is home to a thriving population of painted turtles. If anglers are to gain the respect of non-anglers they must demonstrate respect for the turtles and the park as a whole. Then, and only then, will level heads be able to work out a mutually satisfactory arrangement when it comes to family fishing and turtles at McGuire Lake.

Fish stocking shows we’re out of touch Human ecology is defined as, “The branch of ecology that considers the relations of individual persons and of human communities with their particular environment. Human ecology encompasses both the responses of humans to, and the effects of humans on, the environment.” As a ‘case-study’ in Human Ecology, the decision by Salmon Arm Council (with one exception) to approve fish-stocking of McGuire Lake is both instructive and fascinating. Instructive, because this decision confirms
that the outdated mindset (paradigm) of valuing nature as only being a play-thing for our entertainment, still prevails – even in 21st century greenery. Nature as being valuable in and of itself, is mostly absent from government discussion, and even environmental discussion, where activist groups have turned a blind eye to McGuire from day one. Instructive, too, that the city appears to have decided on behalf of minority, fish-stocking interests, rather than for the community as a whole. (A few short
years ago, the community strongly rejected such a fish-stocking proposal for McGuire) And fascinating, because McGuire and its arbitrary manipulation, is an elegant microcosm of our environmentally-damaging mind-set in the world at-large. A devaluing of nature’s workings and inherent worth, worldwide, is thus abundantly demonstrated in larger-scale impacts, such as habitat-loss and disappearance of wildlife, degradation of the atmosphere and even the land, itself – all as being just convenient dilution and disposal
sites for our many pollutants and questionable chemical panaceas. Evolutionary science is quite clear on the probable outcome for living organisms with out-of-touch attributes, and human ecologists are equally clear on a similar, likely outcome for out-of-touch, nature-devaluing cultures, as well. That is, both living organisms and human cultures that can’t – or won’t – adapt to change, simply fail to survive. Not surprisingly, new thinking could just be adaptive! Tom Crowley
Conservatives deceptive on F-35 purchase When it comes to the costs of the F-35 stealth fighter jets, Colin Mayes and the Conservative Party failed to be up front with Canadians. Mayes claims that the F-35 is “the best airplane” for the cost. (Shuswap Market News, April 13)
But the recent Auditor General’s report has shredded the Conservatives’ deception about the project: Stephen Harper low-balled Canadians on the project’s total cost. The report confirms the government knew the F-35 would cost $25

Cross-country runs cancelled Due to the uncertainty around teacher job action, the North Okanagan-Shuswap School District has made the difficult decision to cancel its very-popular elementary cross-country running series and the annual district track meet, which are held each April, May and June. Superintendent of Schools Dave Witt commented that the local teachers’ union has indicated teachers will not take part in these types of events, and without that support (as coaches and organizers) it would be impossible for principals to ensure student safety at these popular events. “We’re trying to keep things as normal as possible for students during this difficult time but unfortunately some things are going to have to go,” he stated regretfully. Carlin Elementary School Principal Bruce Weicker says students

AND IMPLEMENT COMMON RATES On April 11, 2012, the FortisBC Energy Utilities applied to the British Columbia Utilities Commission to amalgamate their natural gas utilities across the province and to implement common rates and services across their service areas starting January 1, 2014. Currently, FortisBC Energy Utilities is made up of three separate natural gas companies, operating in six service areas. The companies have their own services, service agreements (tariffs) and rates. If approved, the application would combine the three companies into one, under a single tariff, with common rates for the various regions. This Application has different implications for customers in each service area. If approved, customers in the Vancouver Island and Whistler service areas will see rate decreases, while customers in the Lower Mainland, Columbia, Inland, and Fort Nelson service areas will see an overall rate increase.

Quit-smoking program proving popular The B.C. government’s quit-smoking program has hit the sixmonth mark, with more than 100,000 orders for free nicotine patches, gum or anti-smoking drugs. Health Minister Mike de Jong said about half of those are first-time applicants, for a program that allows up to two refills
of 12-week supplies of quit-smoking aids. The 50,000 people represent about nine per cent of the 550,000 people in B.C. who still smoke. With the help of nicotine patches, gum or prescription drugs, the success rate doubles, and with the help of counselling available through the program it improves again, so the
BC Lung Association expects about 10 per cent of people in the B.C. program will end up quitting for good. B.C. residents may apply to get gum or patches by calling 8-1-1. Or Pharmacare will cover the cost of a 12-week supply of Champix or Zyban, if prescribed by a doctor to ease withdrawal
from smoking. The 8-1-1 line to HealthLink BC provides general health advice, and can refer callers to telephone support for those trying to quit smoking. Starting in May, the program website www.quitnow.ca will also offer the option of real-time chat with a counsellor.

B.C. mill inspections ordered By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS
WorkSafeBC has ordered inspections of all B.C. sawmills after a second catastrophic explosion in four months has put the focus on the hazards of processing dry beetle-killed logs in B.C. Interior sawmills. Labour Minister Margaret MacDiarmid said the order went out Tuesday morning, as firefighters were still dealing with the fire following Monday evening’s mill explosion and fire in Prince George. “There is a common factor here, and we’re all aware of it, and it’s sawdust,” MacDiarmid said. “So although we don’t know what caused the initial fires or explosions, we know that sawdust may be a factor.”
beetle infestation. He said mills have already added saw guards and nets to protect employees from logs that break apart when they hit a saw blade. Simpson said there are anecdotal reports of combustion of fine dust and volatile powdered resin from the wood, much of which has been
dead standing for several years. He cautioned that there is no indication yet what caused either fire, but fibreboard mills deal with a similar dust hazard. “What I would say is that the WorkSafeBC investigation that’s finished in Burns Lake, if they can tell us anything about whether or
not this is a possibility, all of our sawmills in the mountain pine beetle area must be given that heads-up and must look at changes in their system to deal with it,” Simpson said. The Lakeland mill’s primary products are premium grade, precision end-trimmed kiln dried 2x4 studs, as well
as 2x6 and 2x3 studs, and 1x3 and 1x4 board stock. Byproducts include wood chips and hog fuel. Lakeland has two partnerships to supply bioenergy fibre for the Prince George District Energy System and the University of Northern B.C. gasification system.

ARMSTRONG REGIONAL COOPERATIVE
“There is a common factor here, and we’re all aware of it, and it’s sawdust.” -Labour Minister Margaret MacDiarmid
MacDiarmid said WorkSafeBC does not have a specific policy for dust control in mills. A meeting is being convened Wednesday with government, WorkSafeBC, industry and union representatives to determine their next steps. The B.C. Coroners Service confirmed two of 25 mill employees on site died after an explosion rocked the Lakeland Mills sawmill in Prince George Monday evening. The explosion and fire occurred suddenly on night shift, similar to the Jan. 20 explosion at the Babine Forest Products mill in Burns Lake that killed two workers and destroyed the mill. Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson called for an investigation of hazards for all B.C. mills that process dry logs from the mountain pine

Syria’s Assad has no fear of outside intervention groups.” The United Nations and the Arab League thought they had a deal. The Syrian government had promised the mediator, former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, that it would remove all its heavy weapons from urban areas by April 10, and accept a complete cease-fire by the 12th. But then Damascus announced the international community had been “mistaken” to think that it was really going to pull its troops out. In other words, as soon as the pro-democracy side surrenders unconditionally, “peace” — i.e., the tyranny of the Baath regime — will be restored. Annan, the United Nations and the Arab League were doing the best they could but, with no member country willing to use military force against Syria they had no leverage whatever. If Assad really pulled all his troops out of Syrian cities, they would then immediately fall into the hands of the opposition, so he wasn’t going to do that. The senior people at the UN and the Arab League who approved the deal were hoping at least to put an end to the Syrian regime’s use of massive force against civilians.
GLOBAL VIEWS Gwynne Dyer “We, the undersigned armed terrorist groups, hereby promise to stop all violence in Syria and surrender all our weapons to the Syrian regime. We will no longer carry out the orders of Israel, the United States, Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, who have been financing our campaign of armed terrorism against the Syrian people. Love, the terrorists of the Free Syrian Army.” As soon as Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria gets “written guarantees” from “armed terrorist groups” to surrender, announced the Syrian foreign ministry on April 8, it will comply with its promise to withdraw its tanks and artillery from rebellious Syrian cities. Sorry, no, there’s more. The regime also wants “guarantees of commitment by the governments of Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey to stop financing the armed terrorist
Assad was obviously not going to meekly give up power, but many innocent lives would be saved if he could just be persuaded to stop using tanks and artillery against cities. However, Assad only agreed to the UN proposal in the first place because Russia and China needed some diplomatic cover if they were to go on vetoing any action against Syria by the Security Council. But, it turns out no country is willing to pay the price in lives of a military intervention in Syria anyway, so it doesn’t really matter what the Security Council says. Suppressing the uprising one murder at a time, with the regime’s intelligence services and “special forces” operating in hostile urban areas, would cost them a lot of casualties. The regime calculated the likelihood of foreign military intervention, concluded it was zero and reneged on the deal. Shelling cities with tanks and artillery is a highly inefficient way of restoring government control over them, but it keeps the casualties down on the regime side. So, has the Assad regime won despite the deaths of 9,000 protesters? Probably. It is a single-party re-
gime that is dominated by and mainly serves the interests of a minority, the Alawites (only 10 per cent of the population), who fear catastrophic revenge by the majority if they lose power. However, it also has significant support from other minorities, notably the Christians and the Druze. Most of the people in these groups have swallowed the guff about “armed terrorist groups,” and they are all terrified of majority rule, which they are convinced would hand power to the Sunni Muslims (70 per cent of the population). The prospect of a non-violent transition to a democratic Syria that commands the loyalty
of all the country’s religious and ethnic groups has vanished. The remaining options are both bad. If Assad succeeds in suppressing all resistance, Syria will be an even more oppressive and unjust place than it was before. If he only partially succeeds, it will open the way to an all-against-all civil war like the one that devastated Lebanon from 1975 to 1990. There is no plausible third option. Am I saying an Assad victory is Syria’s best remaining option? No, I cannot bring myself to say that. But, I think I am writing the epitaph of Syria’s attempted nonviolent revolution.

Memorial literacy fund shoots past goal By Tracy Hughes MARKET NEWS STAFF
Contributions surpassing all estimates poured into a children’s literacy fund re-named in tribute to the memory of former School District #83 trustee Lisa Rolland. Rolland, who was reelected in November to her third term as trustee for Carlin-Sorrento, died in December of an aggressive form of cancer. As a way to honour Rolland, a children’s literacy fund with the Shuswap Community Foundation was renamed and a goal of $10,000 was set. It was thought this might take two to five years to reach. That
marker, however, was reached last week, just four months after Rolland’s death. On Tuesday, there was a $240 cheque in the mail to the Shuswap Community Foundation, which put the fund just over the goal. “It says a lot about what she did for children and her community that the fund just took off like that,” said friend and fellow school board trustee Bobbi Johnson. Johnson explains that Rolland knew about re-naming the fund in her honour before she died. Rolland was passionate about helping children with literacy skills, especially those children with reading challenges. “At first, we were go-
ing to fundraise for the fund, she was going to shave her head... At that point we thought she was going to get better. Soon it became clear that was not going to be the case and we discussed re-naming the fund and she was very excited about that. It was one of her dying legacies.” The fund will remain
in perpetuity, generating revenue which will be applied exclusively to children’s literacy programs in the Shuswap. “There are going to be a lot of kids in our school district that are going to get a lot out of this fund. I know Lisa would be delighted about that,” said Johnson.

It was a day the family won’t forget. Breana Jones, a nurse, and her fiancé Jamie Bell of Aldergrove were staying with Brenda’s parents at their cottage in the North Shuswap on May 28, 2011. Her father, Brett Jones, collapsed in cardiac arrest. “No amount of teaching or nursing in the world can prepare you for that situation,” said Breana, recalling her response at the moment her father stopped breathing. When BC Ambulance Service (BCAS) paramedics April Hames and Andrew Stanley arrived on scene, they found Breana in calm control, using her nursing skills. “I asked them if they wanted me to start an IV,” says Breana. “Breana and Jamie were really impressive,” said Hames. “They took direction from us and continued with CPR until we had a pulse back. They did everything we needed to help Brett all the way through 27 minutes of cardiac arrest. He’s back at work now and has made a full recovery with no neurological damage.” On Saturday, April 21, paramedics from Chase gathered in Kamloops for a Vital Link Award ceremony to recognize Breana and her fiancé for their lifesaving actions. The BC Ambulance Service Community Awards are to recognize the significant contributions made by citizens during medical

New feathered residents move in A new osprey family has recently taken residence in a nest which was moved by BC Hydro crews in December. The provincial Wildlife Act specifically protects osprey nests year round. The Utilities Commission Act requires BC Hydro to maintain property and equipment in a condition to enable it to provide safe and reliable service to the public. Ospreys often build nests within 200 meters of large rivers and lakes, and prefer the tallest snag or structure that provides unfettered access. The nest in question is along the Trans-Canada Highway near the Squilax Bridge. Often ospreys will build nests on BC Hydro poles and structures and will continue
to add to the nest year after year. This is a danger to both the ospreys and the electrical system as, over time, an electrical contact could prove deadly to the ospreys and cause a power outage or pole top fire. BC Hydro, where possible, will re-locate existing nests to freestanding nest poles and discourage further nesting through the use of bird guards on the initial structure. Gene Bryant, representing BC Hydro Community Relations, described hydro’s approach to nest moving. “We place a new taller pole with a specially designed platform, close to the original nest. Once the ospreys have left for the winter, we will carefully move the nest to the new pole.”
Columbia Shuswap Regional District NOTICE OF OTHER VOTING PROPOSED ANGLEMONT WATERWORKS SERVICE PUBLIC NOTICE is given to the electors within the proposed Anglemont Waterworks Service Area (detailed on the map below) within Electoral Area ‘F’ of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District that a vote will be held on the following question (You must be an elector within this service area to vote on this question): Are you in favour of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District enacting Bylaw No. 5619 and Bylaw No. 5620 to provide for the following: • Establishing the “Anglemont Waterworks Service Area” within Electoral Area ‘F’ to provide a water system within Anglemont; and • Authorizing the borrowing of up to $9,959,350 for construction of a water system within the “Anglemont Waterworks Service Area”?

# An osprey family has moved into a nest near Squilax Bridge, relocated by BC Hydro in December last year. In almost all cases, he said, when the ospreys return in the spring, they will readily accept the new nest location. “This is much safer for the birds and our customers.” BC Hydro and, particularly, the power line technicians who do this work take pride
in making a contribution to the natural environment. Bird contacts and bird strikes are a common cause of power outages in some areas. By providing a safe and secure nesting site for the ospreys, they can safely co-exist within close proximity to the electrical system.

Aptly named Moving Forward Together, a two-day workshop to develop a process for regional planning in the Shuswap received great reviews. Hosted on April 19 and 20 at the Adams Lake Indian Band Youth Centre, the first day focused on building respectful and effective aboriginal/non-aboriginal relationships, and the second, on two topics: 1) regional social development planning – action for social traction and 2) building a framework for regional economic development planning. In possibly the first of its kind, the workshop attracted a diverse crowd of more than 100 people, representing: four area First Nations bands – Adams Lake, Neskonlith, Splatsin and Little Shuswap; community organizations and agencies from Sicamous, Enderby, Chase and Salmon Arm including Interior Health; SPARC BC – the Social Planning and Research Council of BC; Salmon Arm Economic Development; Chase Chamber of Commerce; the Shuswap Community Resources Cooperative that includes groups

the break-out sessions during the Moving Forward Together workshop. such as the Canadian Mental Health Association, Eagle Valley Community Support Society and the Shuswap Children’s Association; the Chase Literacy Program; area municipal councils and more. The workshop opened with a prayer and talk from elder Ethel Billy, who set the tone by speaking of the land the Creator has provided and the importance of values of respect and gratitude. All four band chiefs – Felix Arnouse of Little Shuswap, Judy Wilson from Neskonlith, Nelson Leon of Adams Lake and Wayne Christian of Splatsin – gave a short talk, most touching on the need for people in the region to find ways of working
together. The workshop included break-out sessions, where participants got to know each other in small groups and tackled a variety of questions including: what are the challenges that affect our ability to work together, and how can we support each other in taking the next steps? On the first day, a history of government legislation with respect to First Nations was laid out, detailing the list of paternalistic laws that First Nations have been subject to. Adams Lake Band Chief Nelson Leon remarked that despite the struggle, First Nations are resilient and the workshop is about building bridges. Many participants expressed their apprecia-
tion for the event, said Janet McClean-Senft of the Shuswap Community Resources Cooperative, one of the organizers who perused evaluations. “What really struck me was how many people thought it was a great day and said to the aboriginal people there, tell us more, clearly we didn’t know things, we want more opportunities to hear more.” Both she and Albert Quinn of the Adams Lake Band noted how useful even the months of planning were, as people from the many groups involved got to know each other better and develop strategies together.

Rotary Update Chase Rotary Club
Chase Rotary Club keeps busy The Chase Rotary Club consists of 20 members in the community of Chase. We meet on Thursday evenings at the Loft Restaurant at 5:30 PM. We were sponsored 15 years ago by Kamloops West Rotary. Some of our local projects have included the Rotary Centennial Park on Pine Street, the Chase Centennial Clock on Shuswap Avenue, and paved pathways in Willson Park in conjunction with the Chase Lions Club and the Village of Chase. We award a bursary to a graduating high school student annually, sponsor a candidate in the Miss Chase Excellence Program every year, support Chase Minor Soccer, Minor Baseball, and Minor Hockey, along with a number of other groups and functions in the Shuswap. We have also been involved in a number of international projects, most recently in two small villages in Thailand. We are also the sponsoring body
for the Chase and District Victim Services Program, which is operated out of an of¿ce at the Chase RCMP Detachment, and coordinated by the Program Manager, Brandi Nakazawa. They provide counselling and support for victims of crime, accidents, sudden death situations, and a myriad of situations as the need arises. Our club will also have the distinction of being the home club of our next District Governor for District 5060, covering an area from Clearwater, BC in the north, to Prosser, Washington in the south. Doug Everett will take of¿ce July 1, 2012, and, along with his wife Jacquie, will have the privilege to lead the 60 clubs in our District for one year. Doug and his District Of¿cers will set policy and attend to the day to day operations and needs of the area. In the 2012-2013 year, we are sponsoring Michelle Davies on a
Rotary Student Exchange trip to Belgium, where she will live and attend school for one year. In turn, we will have the privilege of hosting a student from Germany Tuulia Brax, who will live in Chase and attend Chase Secondary for one year. We congratulate Michelle, and look forward to the arrival of Tuulia in August. Our major fundraising activities are the Adams River Sockeye run every four years, where we operate our concession for 3 weeks, our annual golf tournament held in September of each year, and our annual auction, which was held on April 21 this year, at the Chase Community Hall. Guests are welcome at our meetings on Thursday evenings, 5:30 PM, at The Loft Restaurant in Chase. Contact Membership Chairman Mel Jasman at 250-679-2969 or President Jay Simpson at 250-679-3191
Northern Thailand water project The water project in this little village in Northern Thailand was the second project which our club was involved in. In 2009, we helped provide this village with a community centre, with the help of other Rotary Clubs in District 5060. Once the community centre was built, the next major need was for a potable water supply. We partnered with Kamloops West Rotary Club in 2010, to construct the water supply. After successfully drilling a well and ¿nding an excellent supply of water, the water lines were put in place to every house in the village, and a suf¿cient
supply of water left to support many more homes. These projects were overseen by Rotarians from Kamloops West and Chase Rotary Clubs, with Chase Rotarian David Narracott our man on the ground in Thailand, where he lives 6 months of the year with his wife Natee, who is from Thailand. We look forward to many more possibilities to help the less fortunate in the world, both at home and abroad.

Enderby closes spray park for the season
Nominations open for Nesika awards ognized at the awards event during BC Multiculturalism Week in November 2012. Winners in each category will receive an award trophy and $5,000 to be donated to a nonprofit organization of their choice to further support the work of multiculturalism in the province. “The Provincial Multicultural Advisory Council is proud to present and sponsor the annual provincial Nesika Awards. It is an honour for all council members to be associated with these awards, not only because they recognize the rich cultural diversity of our province, but because they also celebrate successful examples of how innovative ideas and the practice of multiculturalism can help build inclusive communities,” said the chair of the Multicultural Advisory Council Ashli Komaryk-De Lucio. All nominations must be received by Sept. 24, 2012. For more information, eligibility requirements or to download the 2012 Provincial Nesika Awards nomination form, visit: www. EmbraceBC.ca

Bengston, the city’s deputy chief administrative officer in a memo. Provincial grants were sought in 2011 to replace the park this year but that request
was denied. While the spray park is closed, staff will pursue other potential funding sources for rebuilding the facility. There isn’t a firm
figure for a new spray park but a water park is being built in Lumby for $435,322. Pearase believes public use of the spray park needs to be deter-
mined. “We may put out questionnaires to the users this summer and get some input on what they would like,” she said.

Nominations are now open for the annual Provincial Nesika Awards 2012 and British Columbians are encouraged to participate. The provincial Nesika Awards started in 2008 and recognize the people, organizations and businesses whose exceptional work helps bring our diverse cultures together. The province’s Multicultural Advisory Council organizes and sponsors the awards to honour and celebrate British Columbia’s cultural diversity and aboriginal heritage. “Multiculturalism enhances our social and economic prosperity and puts us on the map as a society that values inclusion and cultural diversity. We’re lucky to have so many diverse communities in British Columbia, so I look forward to many highly qualified nominations,” said Minister of State for Multiculturalism John Yap Four categories are open for nomination Individual, Business, Organization, and this year the province has added a Youth category.

There will be one less place to cool off in Enderby this summer. The Enderby/Area F Joint Services Commission voted Friday not to open the Barnes Park spray park this summer because of poor conditions. “Some families will be disappointed but it would be costly to put into use the given parameters demanded by the Interior Health Authority,” said Herman Halvorson, commission chairperson. “There are concerns
about slipping and falling.” Besides a slick surface, the other concern is children can climb on to the water features and then fall off. IHA would also like the spray park connected to a potable drinking water source. The water is currently recirculated. “We would have to pay to hook it up and then there’s the cost of the water,” said director Jackie Pearase. Options for keeping the spray park open this summer have been considered. “Given the costs and temporary nature of

It is with great sadness that the family of Jim announces his passing on Wednesday April 18, 2012 at Shuswap Lake General Hospital, Salmon Arm at the age of 94 years. Born on January 07, 1918 to parents Orville and Madge Dodds in Lethbridge, AB. The Dodds family relocated to BC when Jim was two years old. Jim had many passions in his life; his career as a logger and later in life as a farmer.Jim loved to spend time with his friends around the bridge table, camping and fishing, but most of all spending time with his family was when Jim was the most happiest. Jim was predeceased by his wife Marian in 1986, brothers; Jesse, Cecil, Harry and Helcy. Surviving are Jim’s sons; Roger (Midge) and Lee, grandchildren; Vickie (Avery), Amanda (Ty), Marrieta, Doug (Crystal), great grandchildren; Tristan, Jessie, Alex, Dylan and Tamaya, together with many nieces and nephews. The family would like to express their gratitude to Dr’s and Staff of level 2 and level 4 at the Shuswap Lake General Hospital for their care shown towards Jim. Donation in memory of Jim can be sent to the Shuswap Lake Hospital Foundation, Salmon Arm, St. Mary’s’ Anglican Church, Sorrento or a charity of ones choice. A time of visitation for Jim will take place at Bowers Funeral Home on Friday April 27, 2012 from 10:00 am onwards followed by a funeral service on Saturday April 28, 2012 at 1:00pm from St. Mary’s Anglican Church, Sorrento, BC.
