What has been termed one of the nicest pieces of property in Salmon Arm is the site for a proposed residential development. At the May 7 meeting of the city’s development and planning services committee, council discussed an

application from Gary Arsenault of Green Emerald Investments Inc. for development of properties at 1641 and 1681 28th Ave. NE, owned by R. & A. Holmes and R. & T. Jobe, respectively. The properties are located between the CP Railway and Lakeshore Road NE, and north of the Appleyard

subdivision. Unusual for a planning meeting, about 30 people were in the gallery, many wearing red or green paper buttons shaped like apples, to symbolize they reside in Appleyard. The application requires an amendment to the official community plan (OCP) from low density residential
to medium density, as well as a rezoning from single family residential (R-1) to medium density (R-4). Corey Paiement, the city’s director of development services, said a total of 95 units are proposed for the 8.3 hectare site, 55 of which would be bareland strata lots, with an additional 40 townhouse or condo units

Traffic worries Appleyard residents Continued from front zoning, there is the theoretical possibility of 182 lots on a site of this size. Under the medium density zone, up to 332 lots could be allowed. Paiement said the applicant believes 95 units are feasible and is agreeable to signing a covenant limiting the development to 95. The terrain is steep, with slopes exceeding 40 per cent along the eastern and western sides of the biggest parcel. Paiement noted that if Arsenault decided to proceed under the R1 zoning, with the theoretical potential for 182 lots, there would be no rezoning or OCP amendment required. Consequently, there would be no public hearing required. Traffic is one of the biggest issues regarding the development, both according to city staff and to Appleyard residents. Paiement said both properties have access on 28th Avenue NE, and would require access on Lakeshore Road at some time. According to planning documents, staff recommend that the applications be considered for first reading only, with second reading withheld “subject to receipt of updated preliminary traffic information looking at the worstcase scenario for potential traffic generation and potential impacts on the Appleyard Subdivision...” Regarding traffic, Arsenault said he’d like to provide good access from Lakeshore. He said he wouldn’t be able to afford to do that if he can only put in 30 or so larger single family lots, and access would remain via 28th Avenue. The development would be for people 55 years and older, he noted, which would cut down on traffic because most people wouldn’t be heading off to work every day. He compared it to his seniors’ development at 10th Avenue
and 10th Street SE. He added that while the units at the back of the development would be called condominiums, they would really be low-rise detached housing. Another issue brought up was flooding. The development would be subject to a geotechnical report and would also require a Hazardous Areas Development Permit because of the steep and potentially unstable slopes. Also, because of its proximity to Shuswap Lake, the site is within an Environmentally Sensitive Riparian Areas Development Permit Area, and would require a Riparian Areas Report from a qualified environmental professional. Regarding flooding, Arsenault said work on the project would help prevent future slides.
think.” Harrison also referred to Arsenault’s statement that 25 per cent of the land would be kept natural or landscaped, noting that the natural parts are ones that couldn’t be built on anyway. Arsenault said he plans to put in a park on the south corner that could be used by the whole neighbourhood, and noted he wants to see a trail established that would connect from the bottom of 28th to 17th where a pedestrian overpass will be going in. Harrison said he would like to see a geotechnical report before supporting a change to the OCP. “1998 is not very long ago regarding sliding and slippage.” Arsenault said such a geotechnical report is very expensive and will make a mess of the property.
“I think the OCP review was an extensive process by the public; I think R-1 is a zoning the public wanted to stick with.” -Coun. Denise Reimer
“There have been no major slides since 1998,” which he said coincided with the city’s changing of the water line. He said the geotechnical work would be extensive, as he would be required to drill 12 holes to see what exists from ground level to bedrock. An excavator would also be used to determine if there are any underground water courses. Arsenault noted that the ensuing drainage and storm water system would be an improvement over what now exists and would prevent water from coming down 28th Avenue. City councillors had many questions regarding Arsenault’s proposal. Coun. Alan Harrison described the site as “a fantastic piece of property; one of the nicest in Salmon Arm, I
“We can’t do that until we’ve finished buying the property and transferred title,” he said, adding he is not going to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars unless he knows the zoning is forthcoming. Coun. Ken Jamieson also asked a number of questions about impact on neighbouring properties with regard to traffic and slides. Coun. Marg Kentel noted that this development would be different than the one at 10th and 10th, because many older people there were attracted by the flat walking distance to shopping. In the end, Couns. Harrison and Denise Reimer voted against the application, referring to the recent OCP review. “I think the OCP review was an extensive
process by the public; I think R-1 is a zoning the public wanted to stick with,” Reimer said. Harrison also noted that council has heard from SCIP, Shuswap Construction Industry Professionals, that the city has a shortage of R-1 properties, while R-4 lots exist that have not been developed. Both Couns. Jamieson and Debbie Cannon said they have not made up their minds on the proposal but would like it to proceed to the next stage in order to hear from the public. Coun. Chad Eliason was absent. Carl Bannister, the city’s chief administrative officer, told the
meeting the application would proceed to the May 14 meeting of council regardless of the planning committee’s vote. Applicants have a right to have their applications heard by council, which is the statutory authority.

Accused rioter sent to Calgary By Tracy Hughes MARKET NEWS STAFF
Salmon Arm’s Andrew Comber, who is facing charges of participating in the Vancouver Stanley Cup riots, has been taken to Alberta to face multiple charges related to violence after a Calgary Flames game. Comber, 38, was very recognizable to Vancouver Police as he painted his body green and taunted police. He is alleged to have take
a stuffed bear, lit it on fire and tossed it on an truck. He is charged with participating in a riot, mischief and arson. The Calgary incident dates back to 2004, following a Flames game with the Phoenix Coyotes. Comber is alleged to have become violent and kicked out the window of a police van. Other charges in Calgary include assaulting a peace officer, obstructing a peace
officer, resisting arrest, mischief under $5,000, theft under $5,000, four counts of failing to appear in court, possession of a controlled substance and liquor act warrants. The Vancouver and Calgary police departments have a partnership dubbed the “Con Air” program, where suspects wanted on outstanding warrants are returned to cities where a crime was allegedly committed.
The temperature’s rising‚ and so are water levels. Salmon River and Chase Creek are the two Shuswap watercourses on the BC River Centre’s radar this week. While snowpacks that feed area rivers and streams are only slightly above normal, the long-term weather forecast is suggesting the period of May 8 to 17 will see much higher than normal temperatures, something that will speed up the melt. And residents that live in areas that have flooded before, should buy and stack sand bags to protect their properties. “My encouragement to citizens is to ensure equipment is moved, along with other stuff they don’t want to get wet,” says Columbia Shuswap Regional District emergency plan co-ordinator Cliff Doherty, noting residents are responsible for preparedness work on their properties and that local government steps in to protect lives only when flooding is occurring or imminent. “Only when it becomes a region-wide emergency event does the Shuswap Emergency Program open the vaults that contain our stockpile of sandbags.” John Rosenberg, City of Salmon Arm manager of roads and

# A truck drives over the Salmon River bridge as the water rises. BC River Centre spokesperson David Campbell says the coming week will be critical in determining the amount of flooding that may occur in the Shuswap. parks is in charge of the local flood watch. He is concerned about infrastructure that could be endangered by rising lake levels. As of May 4, the lake level was at 346.7 metres. “It’s a long way from when we have worry,” he says, pointing out he and his staff start hauling out the emergency plan and doing daily lake watches when the level reaches 348 metres. “We’re still four feet away from doing anything and 349 metres is when we start getting concerned‚ and we’re still eight feet away from that.” Rosenberg says the river dropped 0.2m following the torrential rains two weeks ago. He notes of the two snowpacks that impact the lake, Celista Mountain is slightly above normal and Park Mountain is just below. While a sustained pe-
riod of warm weather may speed up the melting process at higher elevations, David Campbell, chief forecaster with the BC River Forecast Centre, says the milder temperatures experienced a couple of weeks ago, melted a “chunk” of lower and mid-level snow. Campbell says data collected early in April showed area snowpacks are fairly near normal levels. He expects data collected early this month will reveal more of the same. “April 1 is near peak, we don’t get a lot of snow between April and May,” he says. “There’s been a slight increase in snowpack and a slight delay in snow melt.” With the Salmon River at half capacity as of Friday and Chase Creek at one-third capacity, Campbell said this week would be critical in terms of flooding of either watercourse.
As well, Campbell said if the high temperatures continue into the following week, flooding on the Eagle River could also become an issue. As to larger watercourses such as the Shuswap River and the Seymour River which are fed from higher elevations, they tend to peak later, towards the end of May or early June. Meanwhile, for area residents who need sand bag protection, the empty bags are available at Cardinal Equipment and Buckerfields in Salmon Arm. Sand is available at Salmon Arm Redi Mix, Blackburn Excavating and Zappone Bros Contracting in Salmon Arm and Mara Sand and Gravel in Sicamous. Visit www.csrd.bc.ca for more information on sand-bagging and other emergency measures.

Lake parking lot deal comes just in time Just in time for the boating season. The Splatsin First Nation and Victoria have worked out an agreement so that the parking lot at the north end of Mabel Lake can once again be utilized this summer. Last November the band put up a fence around the property in the wake of the Regional District of North Okanagan wanting the provincial government to make the site permanent parking for boaters and residents in the area. The Splatsin First Nation say they took the action to protect the area for cultural and spiritual values for the Shuswap people. Many wondered at the time how this would impact the following summer season of boating and camping, as well as accessing cabins. And this interim measure, worked out between the provincial government and the band, at least gives everyone a common-sense solution for the foreseeable future. That’s likely the sentiment of many who wondered how this impasse was going to be worked out, with the good weather rapidly approaching. Although there are still issues with the ownership of the land, hopefully that can be addressed over the long term. What’s refreshing is that all sides have attempted to come up with a solution that works for all sides, while hopefully maintaining the dialogue to resolve longer-term issues. Certainly some will grouse about paying for something that used to be free of charge, but as RDNO director Jackie Pearase suggests, the fees don’t appear to be onerous and the compromise agreement appears workable for everyone involved. – Vernon Morning Star

OPINION
An integral part of sunny summers (Part two of a two-part column) In my column last week, I said that I have always tried to show respect for nature. I mentioned the fond memories I have of fishing as a kid and the many hours I spent with my father, talking and learning about the wonders of nature. I tried to impart the sense of joy I derive from just sitting out in my boat, watching the dragonflies buzz in and out among the reeds and the simple pleasure I get from listening to songbirds or watching an osprey soar high in the sky above. I tried to convey the sense of loneliness I feel when I hear the cry of a loon as it calls out across the lake and the sense of wonder I feel as I watch the seasons change, or look up to observe flocks of ducks or geese make their way across the autumn sky. In effect, I tried to explain the love I have of nature and the respect I feel for it. I also said that I believe there is a disconnect between young people and nature. One which will not and cannot be mended unless we provide opportunities for
THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray young people to experience nature. Of McGuire Lake, I said that it should not be about stocking fish or not stocking fish or fishing or not fishing, but rather about providing a tangible opportunity for young people to experience and learn about nature – and, in so doing, come to respect nature. As for the painted turtles in McGuire Lake. They are an integral part of the McGuire Lake experience. I have watched them, photographed them and simply stood and admired them many, many times. There is a peaceful tranquility to turtles sunning themselves on a log that somehow draws me back to the summers of my youth.
And I guess that is my point. Turtles and their attraction to kids is a part of what things like warm, sunny summer afternoons are all about. I have also tried to explain, both in my column and upon those occasions when I have witnessed young anglers catching turtles with their hooks, that in catching turtles they harming them and not showing respect for nature. For most it is a lesson learned. As for catching fish in McGuire Lake, let me start by saying that the lake is unique, only in that it is accessible and exists right in the centre of town where all can enjoy. City council has already given its approval for the Fish and Wildlife branch of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations to stock sterile rainbow trout in the lake in order to provide an opportunity for kids to fish. Whether some people agree with this decision or not, it has been made. So why not let it be? As to Mr. Crowley’s question (in his letter to the edi-
tor) about how I can claim to respect nature and yet not show that same respect to fish. I do not feel that the quality of my respect for nature is diminished by the fact that I enjoy fishing. For me, the actual process of catching of fish is but a small part of the whole fishing/outdoor experience. I do not take it lightly that by catching a fish and eating it, I am also taking a life. So why then do I fish? I can only answer by saying that when I am in my boat, casting a line, talking politics and poetry with my dog, I feel like there is a balance to my life – not at all dissimilar to the balance of nature, where individual creatures live and die and nature itself is continuously reborn. Let me conclude by saying this to Mr. Crowley. There is always room for you in my boat. I know we would certainly enjoy some intelligent conversation. You wouldn’t even have to fish – just as long as you are willing to row.

Business kit helps reduce waste If you need help sorting and counting, the Columbia Shuswap Regional District can help. The regional district has developed a Business Waste Audit Tool Kit that is available for any business within the regional district to borrow. “The kit has stepby-step instructions and everything you need to do the audit,” says waste reduction facilitator Carmen Fennell. “It is geared to any type of commercial business, whether it is an office, retail, or food-based.” The audit involves going through one day’s worth (or several days’ worth) of refuse and sorting it into appropriate piles. The kit provides a tarp, gloves, bags, labels, a scale and an assessment form.
“Once you realize how much material can be diverted by recycling, the amount of waste can often be reduced drastically,” says Fennell. “Not only does that mean saving money by taking fewer loads to the landfill, but it also helps the environment by diverting material that can be recycled.” A few months later, businesses can repeat the process to gauge improvements. Helping businesses find ways to reduce waste was one of the recommendations of the 2009 Solid Waste Reduction Plan. “This is one way the CSRD is helping businesses reduce what they are sending to the landfill. We are even prepared to help if it is needed.” The regional district will publicly recognize
PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING Electoral Area ‘D’ Director Rene Talbot and CSRD Staff invite you to view the proposed Salmon Valley Land Use Amendment (CSRD) Bylaw No. 2547 which proposes to regulate organic material composting in the Salmon Valley Land Use Bylaw Area.

No rush placed on soils deposition bylaw By Lachlan Labere MARKET NEWS STAFF
The city’s environmental management committee took another crack at moving ahead the creation of a soils deposition bylaw, but to no avail. At its April 23 meeting, council received a request from the committee that a soil deposition/removal bylaw be moved to a shortterm priority in Salmon Arm’s official community plan. “The committee feels it’s long overdue for a bylaw to be in place for deposition and removal
of soil,” it states in the committee’s minutes of April 5. Currently, a soils deposition bylaw is listed as a medium-term project in the OCP, meaning it won’t be addressed for another three to five years. As in March, when a similar request was received from the committee, council once again chose to leave the bylaw where it stands. “They said we’ve just gone through the OCP process… and that was more in the midterm,” commented Mayor Nancy Cooper, noting the city has be-
gun to move forward on other projects – a sensitive habitat inventory and mapping (SHIM) review, and a sensitive ecosystem inventory (SEI). Cooper says staff is already working on these and other projects, and by adding more,
council would run the risk of staff not being able to complete them. “We certainly respected and understood where they were coming from, but we really felt we needed to leave it there for just those reasons,” said Cooper.

France: Mr. Normal takes charge “My true adversary does not have a name, a face or a party,” said Francois Hollande, France’s next president. “He never puts forth his candidacy, but nevertheless he governs. My true adversary is the world of finance.” No other leader of a major power would dare say such a thing. If Hollande, who will be France’s first Socialist president in 17 years, simply defies “the markets”, they will certainly punish him and France severely. However, it remains to be seen how he plays his hand. Hollande still has one hurdle to cross before he is officially president-elect, but he beat the incumbent president, Nicolas Sarkozy, even in the first round of voting last Sunday, when ten candidates were running. In the run-off vote on 6 May, the polls predict that he will trounce Sarkozy by a margin of 14-16 percent. So it will be President Hollande, who recently said that “if the markets are worried (by my policies), I will tell them here and now that I will leave them with no space to act.” Tough words, but what does “no space to act” actually mean? Does it mean anything
GLOBAL VIEWS Gwynne Dyer at all? The markets don’t think so, which is why they did not go into meltdown as soon as Hollande’s election became a certainty. Hollande is certainly tougher and smarter than the “Mr Normal” who he claims to be. His calm, modest manner presents a striking contrast to the hyperactivity, bad temper and sheer bling of Nicolas Sarkozy, but he graduated from France’s most respected post-graduate school for high flyers, the Ecole Nationale d’Administration, and he has been in politics for more than thirty years. For over a decade he was the leader of the famously fractious Socialist Party, and was nicknamed “Meccanobuilder” for his ability to bridge the endless personal and ideological disputes, a process he once likened to picking up dog turds. And he has not promised French voters
the moon. What Hollande has actually promised is slightly less austerity than Sarkozy. He will balance the French budget by 2017, rather than 2016. For symbolism’s sake he will introduce a new 75 percent income tax band for people who earn more than a million euros, but he understands that bringing the budget deficit under control must be accomplished mainly by cutting spending, not raising taxes. The markets will not have it any other way, and they have France in a corner. In order to cover the interest on its existing debt plus this year’s budget deficit, France must borrow almost one-fifth of its entire Gross Domestic Product this year, and the same again next year. Most of that enormous sum must be borrowed from foreign lenders, so Hollande cannot afford to frighten them by radically changing the austerity policy he inherits from Sarkozy. He says what he must to get elected, but in office Mr Normal is likely to conduct business as usual – or at least, that is what the markets think. It may be too simplistic a view. Hollande doesn’t

agree with the current European orthodoxy, because it has put the eurozone (the 17 out of 27 European Union members that use the euro “single currency”) into an economic deathspiral. Germany’s huge and healthy economy gives it the whip-hand in the eurozone. Berlin insists on savage austerity measures by EU member governments to bring their budgets back into balance, but if the austerity is so extreme that it kills economic growth, then the budgets will never balance. Hollande argues that growth, especially in the form of big infrastructure projects, must be stimulated by easier credit even while budgets are still in deficit. Many European leaders agree, as do out-
side observers like Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman, who said recently that Europe would “commit suicide” if it did not add reflationary policies to strict budget discipline. Hollande will not start printing money right away, because the euro means he cannot, but he is certainly going to argue for “quantitative easing” (as we now call reflation). Without openly defying Berlin, he is likely to become a rallying point for Europeans (and there are a great many of them) who believe that the eurozone will never solve its crisis without economic growth in other countries besides Germany. “Change in France will allow Europe to shift direction,” he says. He may be right.

NDP cries foul on bills By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS
VICTORIA – A flood of new legislation from the B.C. Liberal government in the last weeks of the spring session has the NDP opposition hopping mad. This week the government tabled bills to integrate ambulance and emergency health services, streamline traffic tickets, enforce fines for transit fare evaders, create an online system for civil and family court disputes, introduce a new family day holiday and set up a provincial athletic commission to regulate professional fighting events. That’s on top of bills already before the legislature to reform
development rules on aboriginal reserves, encourage changes to the school calendar and change other B.C. laws. And still to come is the heftiest bill of all, the one to pave the way for eliminating the harmonized sales tax and restoring the provincial sales tax next spring. NDP house leader John Horgan said Tuesday that he expects a total of 23 pieces of new legislation, with only 11 sitting days left until the spring session ends at the end of May. “That strikes me as legislation by exhaustion,” Horgan said. “We should put most of this legislation off until the fall.” B.C. Liberal house leader Rich Coleman said the government has not intentionally
piled up complex legislation. Legal work on the transition back to the PST has consumed a large amount of staff time, and other bills have been brought for-
“That strikes me as legislation by exhaustion. We should put most of this legislation off until the fall. -John Horgan, NDP House leader
ward as they have been prepared, he said. Premier Christy Clark said Tuesday the government intends to pass the PST legislation before the spring session ends May 31.
0% Financing on 2012’s 2012
Debate on other bills may continue in a fall session, but neither Clark nor Coleman would commit to having a fall session. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said there is no simple or quick way to convert the provincial sales tax system quickly, converting three previous tax acts into one modern one. Falcon insisted that a week would be long enough to debate the new PST legislation, because its main focus is to return the exemptions to what they were in 2010. That means provincial sales tax will no longer apply to haircuts, restaurant meals and other goods and services taxed under HST, Falcon said.

Police prepare for boating blitz is moments away.
Stiff penalties What the experts find particularly astounding is that boat operators feel perfectly confident boating under the influence of alcohol. A Red Cross study found that 37 per cent of boaters in Canada drink alcohol every time they boat. About 66 per cent of boaters admit to partaking sometimes. What most don’t realize is that almost half of all boating fatalities are alcohol related. The consequences have been so serious that both federal and provincial statutes exist to try to slow down alcohol-related tragedies on the water. Any vessel operator caught under the influence can lose boating privileges, and in the province of Ontario, vehicle driver’s licences can be revoked for a year, upon conviction, where the person’s blood alcohol concentration exceeds the .08 threshold. Alcohol is often called ‘false courage.’ Interestingly, the mindnumbing effect that alcohol has on boaters can be almost doubled by sun, wind and waves. In an experiment called the Drinking and Boating Test, a mixed group of boaters were selected to manoeuvre through
a challenging obstacle course before and following consumption of alcohol. Even after minute blood levels of alcohol were acquired, participants knocked into dummy people appearing in the water and they frequently failed to negotiate throughways. One participant in the experiment said she was surprised at what she couldn’t do after just a little alcohol. “Your perception, your brain, nothing is working and nothing’s really quick, you’re not quick on the draw like you normally are when you’re sober,” she says.
Safe Boating is No Accident Other factors affecting boater safety that police will be checking for over the long weekend, include proper preparation (charts and appropriate equipment on board), boater card for the operator, a safe number of occupants for the vessel and safe operation (taking into consideration weather and observation of boating rules).

Police are bracing for the upcoming long weekend, which historically has been a deadly time. Not just the roadways, but waterways have been areas of heartbreak to the families of those who say they don’t need to wear a lifejacket. A 16-year Transport Canada study by the Office of Boating Safety reveals some pretty embarrassing facts about those who use the waterways for recreational purposes. “It is astounding to note,” the 2010 report reads, “that in exposure to boating, where the most frequent injury incidents involve capsizing and falling overboard, non-swimmers and weak swimmers continue to boat without a flotation device, and drown as a result.” Search and Rescue personnel know all too well that even consummate swimmers have great difficulty putting a lifejacket on once they’ve fallen in the water, especially when it is as cold as the water usually is in Canada. The added issue of cold water shock is that sudden exposure triggers an automatic gasp reflex that causes people to suddenly inhale a litre or more of icy water. Without a lifejacket properly fastened, death

Plan for improving sports fields By Martha Wickett MARKET NEWS STAFF
If you’ve been wondering about the sorry state of some of the sports fields recently, particularly those at Little Mountain, there is a plan for their improvement. Brad Ackerman, the city’s parks and recreation foreman, said the problem lies with overuse, as well as increased use in the fall when grass goes into dormancy and doesn’t recuperate. “We’re overusing our fields so as a result we’re seeing excessive amounts of wear.” In the short term, next week the fields will be aerated and, as spring progresses, there’ll be overseeding with rye grass along with some rotational closures to allow the fields to regenerate. In 2011, fields at Little Mountain underwent nearly double the 450 hours recommended for a field during a 12-month period, Ackerman says. Field #1 saw 760 hours, Field #2 800 hours and Field #3, just over 700 hours. Meanwhile, the Jackson campus field sustained just 275 hours of use, while Blackburn #1 and #2 each saw less than 400. “We’re endeavouring
to balance out our usage across all the fields. It will balance off the conditions. It helps justify expanding future field development to show all are at capacity,” he said. “Historically, user groups can book a field location wherever they want. We’re trying to change to having them request a time and we’ll find the location. We won’t turn down a request, but it might not be the location they want.” With six fields available – seven including the Safeway fields –
that means 3,000 hours of bookable time, he explains. In 2011, total hours used was 2,750. “Once we have over 3,000 hours of usage, we can justify bringing on another facility.” That would likely be another joint-use agreement with the school district to bring on another school field, he said. Blackburn #2 will eventually be raised and turned into a multiuse field, but the grant expected to make that possible was not forthcoming this season.

A suspected squatter and possible thief in Talana Bay managed to slip through a police dragnet last Thursday afternoon. Although a helicopter and police dog team were called out, the suspect, thanks to the help of a female accomplice driving a pickup truck, eluded officers, reports Const. Brian Kukhta of the Chase detachment. Police were summoned to a break and enter in the 4500 block of Squilax-Anglemont Road, between Scotch Creek and Celista, about 1:30 p.m. May 3 after a resident noticed a man who didn’t appear to be-

The retiring royalty, Miss Chase Michelle Davies, spoke highly about the program and thanked the Village of Chase for its continuing support. Davies will be travelling to Belgium in August on a Rotary Exchange for a year. Katie Drake, Chase Princess thanked the royalty and the committee for making it a memorable year. She is planning to attend Thompson Rivers University in the fall.
Amanda Tone, Miss Congeniality, was congratulatory to her peers and family and added humour to her presentation – which was why she received this award a year ago. She, too, is entering TRU in the fall. During the judging, personal interviews were conducted the morning of April 28 and together the results were tabulated. The three outof-town judges had also judged a night of entertainment and a fashion show previously, showcasing the results of the past six months
of training. The Miss Chase Excellence program attracted a visit from 11 communities for the weekend (Kamloops, Kelowna, Summerland, Trail, Peachland, Logan Lake, Lytton, Arrow Lakes, North Thompson Fall Fair, Vernon and Osoyoos). There were also three B.C. ambassadors present who emphasized their mandate of education as the priority for young people in the province.

long at the cottages. Although the suspect asked the resident not to call the police, using the excuse that he had just had a fight with his girlfriend, not one but several officers were able to respond because of the overlap between shifts at the time. “It was a good coordinated effort,” said Kukhta, noting that the detachment’s corporal was in the helicopter helping guide the pilot. “It’s just unfortunate he had help in the area and was able to slip through.” The helicopter surveyed the area for about an hour and the police dog team searched for two hours.
Kukhta said the man may not have stolen anything, but he’d been squatting for one or two weeks in one of the cottages that is occupied seasonally. He said evidence indicated the suspect had also broken into three trailers and another cottage nearby. “Nothing was really noticed missing,” Kukhta said. The cottage the suspect had been staying in was very sparsely furnished, he noted, and the others had no obvious signs of theft such as holes on shelves or hanging wires where electronics might have been sitting. Although most break and enters are done
quickly and thieves usually wear gloves, there might be more evidence in this instance because the suspect had been staying in the cottage, Kukhta said. “We seized some items for finger printing and some cigarette butts we hope to get DNA off.” Kukhta remained on the scene until about 8 p.m. processing evidence. He said police appreciate the efforts of residents. “They did a great job there. They noticed something was wrong and they called us,” he said, adding that police usually hear about break and enters long after the thieves have left.
Penttila, expressed their appreciation for the Village of Chase, all the sponsors and everyone who assisted with the program. They said the program has brought the community together in supporting the young people involved through apron auctions, fashion shows, entertainment displays and community volunteerism.

New to the Community or Expecting a Baby.... # Executive director of the Shuswap Area Family Emergency (SAFE) Society, Jane Shirley, and Crisis Intervention Support Worker, Faith Simpson of SAFE, gratefully accept a cheque for $2,700 from members of Sketch Theatre’s cast of The Vagina Monologues, who were thrilled to be able to provide the cheque.
Sketch Theatre supports SAFE Society In creating her hit production, Eve Ensler, a native New Yorker and award-winning playwright and global activist, interviewed more than 200 women of all ethnicities, ages and religions. These interviews were brilliantly shaped into funny, poignant and moving monologues that have been translated into 48 languages and performed in over 140 countries as The Vagina Monologues. In 1998, inspired by the attention The Vagina Monologues raised, Ensler founded V-Day, a global activist movement to end violence against women and girls. V-Day is a catalyst that promotes cre-
ative events to increase awareness, raise money, and revitalize the spirit of existing antiviolence organizations. V-Day generates broader attention for the fight to stop violence against women and girls, including rape, battery, incest, female genital mutilation (FGM), and sex slavery. By creating this global community, V-Day strives to create a dialogue that shatters taboos and empowers women to find their collective voices, demanding an end to the violence that affects one in three women around the world. Through the overwhelming support of the community of Chase, with dedicated
volunteers, ticket sales, and generous raffle and goodie donations from local small businesses, Sketch Theatre (V-Day Chase 2012) was honoured to be able to raise a total of $2,700 for the Shuswap Area Family Emergency Society (SAFE) in Salmon Arm.
In operation for more than 20 years, SAFE is a free, confidential and safe women’s shelter. Its mission is to end violence against women and children in the Shuswap. The donation this year will go to the Children Who Witness Abuse Program.
Thank You to the Chase Lions Club for their generous donation of the LED electronic sign board that has been installed on the front of the Chase Community Hall. Thank-you as well, for their kind donation of the previous sign and letters to the Chase Royal Canadian Legion for use on the front of their building. Sincerely, Mayor and Council Village of Chase

Time for conserving water Note that hand watering of flower and vegetable gardens is permitted at any time. Without a reduction in usage, sufficient chlorine contact time is not achieved that results in a water quality concern. These restrictions should not affect the well-being of lawns. Frequent watering promotes shallow root growth that in turn requires more frequent watering. A lawn can become “addicted” to water; the more frequently you water it the more it requires.
Lawns require only 15 mm (half an inch) every two to three days, measured with pie plates or empty cans, greatly reducing the amount of water used. Watering during the heat of the day is wasteful as the significant majority of the water evaporates before soaking in. Keep in mind – this is not the west coast of B.C. The climate in Chase is a hot and dry in summer so lawns and gardens may be different than those in cooler, wetter regions of B.C.

Enjoying status as weakest link on links VILLAGE VOICE Lynda Hooper The Chase community-operated Sunshore Golf Club has been a point of interest for me since I started reporting in the Shuswap Market News last July, but procrastination has got in the way of my challenging the course. That is until the Team Chase Texas Scramble fundraiser for the CIBCsponsored cancer treatment fundraiser May 6. Even though I have only golfed about a dozen times since moving to the Shuswap from Edmonton in 2003, I thought this was a great time to sign up, network
with some folks in town, get a little exercise without impeding play for anyone due to my lack of skill swinging a club. The deadline for registration was looming, there was one spot open on a team, so I quickly filled the vacancy, looking forward to meeting my teammates at the tournament, with the intent to get to the driving range a few times for practice. In a former life, I had taken up the game, diligently getting in at least two games per week, with some practice at a driving range, actually realizing some improvement in golf skills. I even broke 100 on a full-sized golf course more than once. Faster than expected, May 6 arrived and I had not fulfilled my plans for practice, but thought I would only have to put together a couple of good drives – after all
LYNDA HOOPER/MARKET NEWS
# Team Chase organized the second annual Chase Pink Ribbon Golf
Tournament, which was a big success, raising $5,000 for the cancer cause. this was Texas Scramble, the co-operative form of golf tournament. Surely my teammates would understand, easily compensating for my deficiencies. I was sure there would be other duffers present to even up the odds for the competition. Team Chase is a wonderful, closely knit group of ladies who enter the Relay for Life as a group, having fun volunteering around town, putting on excellent fundraisers throughout the year. They are also
a line-dancing squad, which explains how they maintain excellent physical condition, in preparation for expending much-needed energy in organizing the second Annual Golf Tournament. As hostesses, their people skills are fabulous. Each golfer got a hug at the starting point, and interested golfers got a special spray of pink in their hair – pink being the colour of the day. At the first tee, we waited patiently, listen-
personal score, I’d have been thrilled. Dinner was delicious and welcome and, with the silent auction closed, it was award time and the moment of truth. Math a favorite subject, I managed to calculate the weakest link on the course that day was yours truly, yet another lesson in the ‘use-it-or lose-it’ reality. Nevertheless, the hard working Team Chase ladies, true to their style and grace, ensured everyone felt welcome and were invited back again next year for the third annual. The event raised about $5,000, close to what was collected last year with a full slate of 64 golfers. Now that the cat is out of the bag, with my tendency toward honesty apparent, and my ability to happily flog away the day without shame, anyone need a fourth?

ing for the ‘shot gun’ start signal, joking about how the urge to play through was a habit and unacceptable with the Texas Scramble format. Up on the tee box, after a few warm-up stretches and one practice swing, I drove my first ball of the day. It wasn’t a bad shot considering my lack of practice, up off the ground, about 100 yards closer to the cup. Each player on the team had to score two drives in the game and grateful was I that our team decided to use my
first drive. Donna and John Mosiman were the couple who formed the core of our team, both reasonable golfers who had been out a few times this season, and it showed in their play. Dick Herman was the other player making up the foursome. New to the community with spouse Mary, John is a good golfer, his experience evident with each shot he made throughout the day, more than making up, I thought, for my shortcomings. We completed the nine holes with a twoputt using the novelty limp putter, a respectable score, I thought, under difficult conditions. Our team score at the end of nine holes of Texas Scramble was six shots over par. The consensus was we likely wouldn’t win, but we felt somewhat insulated from a last-place position.

LEE, VIOLA VERONIC LEE (nee Behan) September 21, 1913 - May 6, 2012 Viola died at Hillside Village in her 99th year. She was predeceased by her husband Donald Kenneth Lee and an infant, Gloria Dawn, as well as all her 9 siblings. Born near the Ottawa River in Quyon, Quebec, Viola was the 7th child of descendants of large Irish immigrant families. Her father transported the family across Canada in search of work, after the death of her Mother, in childbirth. The remote Desolation Sound area became her playground where logging employed her Father and many of her siblings and their offspring over the following years. Her family name (Behan) is still widely known in Powell River where her late brothers and sisters raised their families. She is survived by many nieces and nephews in Powell River as well as her special friend and niece, Pat Materi of Vancouver. Viola moved to Salmon Arm in the mid 70’s and prided herself on being a hard-working, independent lady. She attended daily Mass as she was able and enjoyed preparing family dinners, gardening, knitting, and planning her next Halloween costume to amuse the family. Her devotion and love to her entire family and those who knew her will be her legacy. Left with many fond memories of her fun and laughter are son and wife, Ron and Catherine Lee, Armstrong, BC, daughter(s) and husband(s), Phyllis and Andre Bouchard, Pembroke, Ontario, and Cynde and Robin Russell, Tappen, BC. She will also be fondly remembered as “GG” to her nine grandchildren and their children.

He stated in his High School Year book on his graduation that he wanted to pursue banking as a career. Following that dream, in 1963 he joined CIBC working in many areas of BC for the next 27 years.

Violet, nicknamed by her friends “Hollywood North”, was a selftaught videographer.

Before moving to Saskatchewan, Violet worked on the maternity floor of the Guelph General Hospital in the case room as a scrub nurse. Violet, the love of John’s life is also lovingly remembered by her son Ricky of Red Deer, AB; her daughter Lynn of Salmon Arm, BC; and her daughter Lucinda of Guelph, ON.

Gift ideas for mom
Foodie moms Why not an apron embroidered with her first name, a gourmet box of chocolates, or a fancy high-quality kitchen gadget? If your budget is more ample, she would surely love a gastronomic weekend away, with meals featuring local products and a couple of nights in a cozy inn. Pampered moms If your mom loves feeling pampered, then a massage followed by dip in a thermal spa is just the thing. A box of different herbal teas or coffees would also be well received, as would bath products or comfortable slippers.

verybody is convinced that the best mom in the world is theirs. That’s probably why Mother’s Day is celebrated in dozens of countries around the world, although not always on the same date. There’s nothing new about honouring a mother’s unique role within the family and society as a whole. Ancient Greeks were known to celebrate Rhea, the mother of the Gods, and countless other religions have celebrated the fertility and nurturing qualities of women.

others give so much of themselves to their children, from the time they’re babies, through childhood and beyond the trials of adolescence. That’s half a lifetime spent caring for their children! Honoured since antiquity, motherhood represents the source of life and nurturing. Why not make your cherished mother’s greatest wish come true for Mother’s Day? If you and your sibling haven’t been on speaking terms for months, if you’re annoyed with a family member over a trifle, why not bury the hatchet, turn the page, and try to get along for your mother’s sake. A family reconciliation might very well be the most wonderful gift she could receive. Perhaps you don’t demonstrate the love you feel for your mother on a regular basis. Mother’s Day is the ideal moment to express this love, with heartfelt wishes, gifts, or gestures that will go straight to her heart. If you have a limited budget, offer her

Compost is every plant’s favourite food
Creating coolness in the garden During the long hot days of summer, who doesn’t dream of a shady corner in a lushly planted yard where one can relax and escape the stifling heat. To create a shady area in your yard, plant a few trees in a strategic spot. With a bit of time and patience you’ll be able to relax in their cooling shade, especially if you choose a fast-growing species. Another, faster way to create shade is to build a wall of trellises, which can then be covered with climbing plants. You could also install a pergola, increasingly popular with gardeners.
This is a small structure, made with horizontal beams and columns, which can be used to support climbing plants. For either of these ideas, be sure to think carefully about the positioning in order to make the most of the shade they will provide. A water garden is also a great way to add coolness to a backyard. This kind of project entails a lot of work, of course, but the results are bound to be very satisfying. You could also think about adding a pump with a water jet to your pond. This will not only help to lower
YOUR COMPLETE
the water temperature but will also aerate the water for the benefit of your aquatic plants. What joy, to relax in the cooler air created by your water garden and in the shade of a tree you planted with your own
hands! Whether you undertake these projects on your own or with the help of a landscaper or gardener, a yard with these features will provide you with years of enjoyment.
A shady corner in the garden is always enjoyable during the long hot days of summer.

ingredients necessary for a well-balanced compost recipe: dry or freshly mown grass cuttings (yours or your neighbors’!), dead plants and leaves, pine needles, and kitchen waste (cooked or raw fruits and vegetables and egg shells). A compost pile should always remain moist, so be sure to water it during dry spells, and turn it over once a month with a pitchfork. In June, add a threequarter-inch layer of compost around lettuce plants and annual flowers. In August, add it around roses and perennials. Use a handful of compost when planting bulbs in September, as well as every time you plant trees, shrubs, and conifers. Making compost is

The very best food for any plant is wellbalanced organic matter obtained from domestic compost. This mixture will change depending on what your family eats, but it will always be beneficial for your garden. And because domestic compost is made from readily available plant waste, it won’t cost you a cent! Once mixed in, compost gives more consistency to sandy soils and improves their ability to retain moisture. It helps aerate clay soils, making them easier to work with, and it also contains high levels of good bacteria to help you in your gardening efforts. In other words, compost will increase your garden’s productivity. Here are a few of the

really very simple, requiring little more than a concern for the environment, a sheltered corner in the garden, a few plants, and about ten minutes per week.

The gardeners of the Shuswap joined together in 1993 to form the Shuswap Garden Club with members coming from Sorrento, Salmon Arm, Sicamous and surrounding areas. Many of the original club are still very actively involved. Over the many years the club has made many donations towards the garden projects at the Haney Museum. Several students have also received bursaries towards their university education in horticulture. The Salmon Arm Fair also benefits from the club sponsorship of a special class. Such as a collection of at least 10 different varieties of vegetables. The exhibitor designs a container that displays their many exhibits. These exhibits are then judged for the condition, colour and quality of each vegetable. The flower division of the Salmon Arm fair has two separate classes that are also sponsored by the club. A collection of annual flowers and a collection of perennial flowers with a minimum of 5 species displayed in
each category. These arrangements are judged for the variety of flowers, the arrangement, quality and overall colour harmony. The annual fund raiser plant sale is held the first Saturday in May. All the plants being donated by the club members and friends makes this event a great success. An annual flower show is held at Piccadilly Mall in July. The Shuswap Garden Club organizes the show but entries are very welcome from anyone. A qualified judge examines all entries and awards the ribbon prize. There are many categories to encourage participation. For example: roses, annual flowers and perennials, ornamental grasses, and flower arranging. Photography has also been added so
that everyone can enjoy photos of gardens, flowers and water features. There are no professional entries and everyone can enjoy participating. Our qualified judges are also requested to make comments and assist exhibitors with suggestions and hints in exhibiting and displaying their entries. The club meets each month on the fourth Thursday at the Scout Hall on Auto Road at 7 p.m. Guest speakers cover a wide variety of topics that are of interest to our members and guests. Each Thursday evening during the months of June and July our members visit many gardens in the area. We join with other clubs in the region or invite them to join us in our Christmas meeting
or summer Bar B Que’s. As part of the Southern Interior Horticulture Association, our club is provided with information from all others clubs, their speakers, fun items etc. At our May meeting we hold an annual Bar B Que and our November meeting we have a dessert party following the regular meeting. All of the get togethers provide an opportunity to network, ask questions, meet with other gardeners and collect or share information. If you would like to join the club, please join us at any of the regular meetings or for information you may call President – Larry Viers at 250-832-6342. or Secretary – Kathy Crosbie 250-832-2028.
