CSRD looking to get tough on weeds By Barb Brouwer MARKET NEWS STAFF
The Columbia Shuswap Regional District is looking to expand its environmental services role. Hamish Kassa, Environmental Services coordinator, received unanimous support from regional district directors to hire a consultant to review and expand the mandate of the regional district’s noxious weed control program. Kassa explained that CSRD established the program in January 1993 to help reduce the negative impacts of noxious weeds on the agriculture industry. In recent years the program has expanded to include public information, bio-control re-
leases, community weed pulls, and a sprayer loan-out program. Using zebra mussels plaguing Idaho and Washington lakes as an example, Kassa advised it’s time for CSRD to review its perspective. “Across the province, they’re starting to look at other species,” he told directors at the May 17 board meeting, which was held in Sicamous. “This kind of assessment is held in high regard at the provincial and federal level and we’re trying to bring it down to the regional level.” Kassa said problems of noxious and invasive species – both plant and animal – are now being regarded through
much of the province in a collaborative group approach. “We’re asking for a consultant to assess our region to determine what are the problems and who are the potential partners,” he said. “There has been support from other groups including BC Hydro, who are particularly interested in setting up a committee.” And that committee would be an expanded one due to the vastness of the regional district’s territory. Kassa told directors the cost of hiring a consultant would be in the neighbourhood of $5,000 and that the Invasive Species Council of BC has offered to assist with the development of terms of refer-
ence to engage the consultant. Regional District CAO Charles Hamilton gave his support to Kassa’s proposal, which would see each partner bringing dollars to the table. “We have no longterm funding, only sporadic funding that comes in now and then,” he said. “If we are going to continue a long-range participation in this, we have to look at other partners.” Sitting in for Sicamous Mayor Darrel Trouton, Greg Kyllo said he was supportive of the proposal, particularly since its role would be expanded to include things like zebra mussels that could have a negative impact on area lakes.
es and Interior Health said must be dealt with to bring it up to current standards. Operation of the system was taken out of Speed’s hands last year but given back to him when the ministry deemed he had resolved outstanding issues. In the meantime, Anglemont residents asked CSRD to look at taking over operation of the subdivision’s ailing water system. “The bottom line is the creek does not supply enough water for the existing 420 property owners, let alone the almost 900 lots that have not yet been connected to the system,” said CSRD Water Services Co-ordinator Terry Langlois in February when the issue went before the board of directors. “There’s lots of issues with it, but that’s the main one, and to deal with that the operators are shutting off portions of that subdivision weekly and daily, depending on water flow.” Failure to get a $5.2 million grant from the province through the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) in late 2011 means owners of the subdivision’s 1,303 lots will have to bear a much higher financial burden in order to get clean, potable water. Langlois says CSRD is putting the finishing touches on an application for a $3 million grant this year and says UBCM officials told him the regional district had asked for too big a chunk of UBCM’s general strategic priorities fund. The deadline for applications is May 31 but CSRD won’t find out if they’re successful until late fall. For property owners, the bottom line is that if CSRD gets the grant, they will see a saving of about $160 per year. In the meantime, Langlois says the first order of business will be to tender out the engineering for the upgrade of the system that will draw water from the lake.
The Anglemont Estates golf course will continue to be fed with untreated creek water for irrigation, thereby reducing the size of the treatment plant. The process will then go into design, which will be ongoing through the winter, followed by tendering out for construction. “If all goes according to plan, we’ll be hitting the ground in spring of 2013,” he says, noting CSRD will be working with Speed to organize transfer of the water system. “Once we take over at the end of July or thereabouts, we do have emergency repairs to do – urgently required work that we’ll do when we take over.” Disappointment – not delight, is Speed’s reaction to last Saturday’s referendum results. “The system was my little baby, but I guess I didn’t raise it too well,” he said Wednesday, noting that when he was first forced to give up the system, he was at his lowest ebb and had fines hanging over his head. “The whole thing is that, as a private utility, I was not able to go and get an interim rate increase, not able to hire anyone so, in the end, I gave up the keys.” Speed says the province handed operation of the system back to him because he was the only one who knew how to run the utility. “It’s hard to run the system from the capital. They had someone from Vernon, but you need to be on hand,” he says. “It was my system, it’s running smoothly, everything’s running tickety-boo, but it still needs the money to do the improvements.” Speed continues to own and operate three other North Shuswap water systems – Celista, Lucerne and View, and with one annual increase approved, says he now has the money to maintain them properly. “I hated to lose this one, but I’ll shake myself off, learn from it and move on,” he says. “I gotta make sure the improvements and preventive work are done.”

Free education has a price Free cradle-to-grave public education would be a great idea if we could afford it. Education is expensive and, in some cases, students should be expected to pay for it. No one would quibble about the benefits of free public K-to-12 education and post-secondary school should be subsidized to guarantee a well-educated and skilled work force. But there may be times when free tuition doesn’t accomplish the goals set out by the citizens who have to pay for it and, after experimenting with the Education Guarantee, the B.C. government has figured this out. After four years of providing free tuition to graduated adults seeking to upgrade their high school education, the province is now whittling down the number of courses it will offer at no charge. More specifically, the province has determined that it will only pay for literacy, math and competency courses for students learning English as a second language and English 12, Biology 12, Math 11 and 12, Chemistry 11 and Physics 11. The idea is that these are the courses that are most sought after by students seeking to upgrade their education. Students who wish to take history, law or accounting, which could be seen more as electives, will now have to pay for them. The province has also moved to withhold partial funding unless courses are completed, and while we don’t know all the details — and there could be some costly fine print for school districts unless attention is paid to this issue — the principle is sound. Taxpayers should only pay for courses that people sign up for and complete. Until educators are prepared to work for free, students will have to contribute in some way to their own education. — Black Press

OPINION
Enjoying the traditions of fishing With the coming of summer and what some refer to as fishing season, I once again find myself wanting to pack my gear and head out to fish the runs and riffles of anyone of a number of the rivers and streams in our province. This year I have decided to fish a couple of the rivers on the Island – the Campbell, the Oyster and the Gold. As with each new fishing season, there is always a certain air of expectation and excitement. With the coming of each new season there is some primordial instinct that is stirred within me – a longing to be on the banks of some river – somewhere – anywhere. I look forward to just standing there, breathing in the cool, crisp morning air, feeling the sun on my face, looking around and enjoying the sense of camaraderie that comes with standing and casting a line with fellow anglers – sharing with them the experience so many anglers have shared before us. It’s hard to explain, but I feel a connection with both
THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray the river and the past when I’m standing there, casting my line. Whether I catch fish or not, I feel good just being a part of that tradition along the river. The hours spent casting a line have given me time to both reflect on the past and contemplate the future. Things seem to make more sense when I’m on the river. Personal problems and complicated situations become, well simpler and less important – things tend to fall into place. When I’m on the river casting my line, the burdens of life seem to be lifted from my shoulders. For those precious hours I’m able to leave my worries behind. Another way of putting it I suppose, would be
to say that for those precious hours, I simply don’t give a damn. Everything simply disappears from my mind when I have a fish on. All I care about is in the moment. When I’m fighting a fish, it’s just me and the fish – the eternal struggle of predator and prey. Something like that is hard to express in words, especially for anyone who has not had the experience of fighting a wild salmon or steelhead on the end of their line. Now I admit that I do not fish because I need the food. I release every fish I catch as long as it has not been harmed in the struggle. So why do I fish? Perhaps it is in response to that primordial instinct, that ancient need to pit myself against nature that I referred to. Perhaps it is nothing more than a way to get away from all the hustle and bustle and pressures of everyday life. All I know for sure is that when I’m standing kneedeep in the fast-flowing waters of a river or stream somewhere, casting my two-handed spey rod to a
salmon or steelhead, I’m happy and I’m content. I don’t even really care if I catch fish. Although, I do like it when I tie into a bright, shiny silver 10 pound spring-run salmon or a winter-run steelhead that hits like a freight train and steams off line like there’s no tomorrow. When it comes right down to it, every angler fishes for the sake of catching fish. Each cast made without a strike, is but a prelude to the moment when you feel that sudden, heart-stopping bump on the end of your line. Some years the fish haven’t been passing through on the days when I was fishing or weren’t there at all. There have also been a few occasions when the fish just moved right on by without even stopping long enough to say hello. Either way, fishing has always been a hit-and-miss proposition at best. That’s the way it is. I don’t mind. I’ve caught my share of fish and I’ve enjoyed my time on the river. I also enjoy being part of the tradition.

Fishing program teaches wrong lesson In response to James Murray’s article on ‘respect for nature.’ The government is not promoting this ‘youth fishing program’ because they care about you or your children learning about nature – it is purely to improve stagnant fishing licence income. The BC Wildlife Federation as well as the Habitat Conservation Trust Fund are facing the exact same problem, which is why these ‘special interest groups’
are behind this project. The Provincial Wildlife Act states the turtles are protected by law and harassment, killing or possession is an offence. One does not have to be a lawyer to realize that the City of Salmon Arm and the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources are breaking the law when they knowingly stock a ‘painted turtle habitat’ that has the potential to harm, did harm and no guarantee that there will be
no harming again this year. About the lovely picture that Mr. Murray paints with his ‘lonely with the loons’ and ‘love of casting a line’ is when you want to promote respect between anglers and non anglers than I suggest that by catching is not the way to achieve this. Fishing is down 40 per cent, why are we not stocking 40 per cent less lakes? Nobody said to not fish, Mr. Murray, just
do it where it is safe and then you will get my respect. This is not the way to teach children about ‘respect for nature.’ I have talked to kids at the lake that feel really bad about the turtles. So Mr. Murray, your ‘respect for nature’ is questionable, especially after you admit in print that you have seen the hooking of the turtles – the proof is in the pudding. Leanne McIvor
Columnist dodges issue of respect Thanks are (again) due James Murray for his recent columns on Respect for Nature. James’ sensitive writing-style captures the beauty of many natural settings that he observes while fishing. Alas, James largely dodges my request to provide ethical guidelines for our respectful treatment of nature. He justifies impacting the ecosystems of McGuire Lake because it’s “unnatural” anyway – as is the stocking itself, he correctly notes. Thus, he illogically approves of making it even more unnatural. He also justifies McGuire disturbance on questionable educational grounds, and states that the disconnect from nature of many young people can only be “mended” by instructing them how to fish... or – to learn respect for nature, oddly enough, by teaching them to disrespectfully exploit it . Fish are merely sacrificial. These contradictions ‘undo’ James rationalizations for disrespecting nature. My question to James requesting ethical guidelines was intended to include all ages. My question came from the belief that our entire culture – not just young

people – is acutely disconnected from nature. I’m going to make it simple for James and outdoor enthusiasts. In terms of an ethical guideline for respecting nature: When in nature, do the least harm or just “let it be.” That’s it... And about that lonely feeling when you hear a loon, James; shouldn’t that call make you, and all of us, feel truly “connected” to nature – anything but lonely?

Lynda Hooper What’s the difference between high and low tea? It’s the table on which the tea is served that makes the difference. According to www. festiviteas.com, the history if high tea goes like this: prior to the introduction of tea into Britain, the English had two main meals, breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was ale, bread and beef. During the middle of the eighteenth century, dinner for the upper and middle classes had shifted from noontime to an evening meal that was served at a fashionable late hour. Dinner was a long, massive meal at the end of the day. Anna, the Duchess of Bedford and lady in waiting to Queen Victoria, is credited as the creator of teatime. Because the noon meal had become skimpier, the Duchess suffered from “a sinking feeling” at about four o’clock in the afternoon. At first

Funding to benefit apple orchardists The provincial government is providing tree fruit growers with $2 million to help replant low-value orchards with high-demand varieties. The funding will help focus B.C. apple growers on a “right variety, right size, right grade” strategy to serve high-value fruit markets with apple varieties that thrive in B.C.’s climate. “The funding will help ensure British Columbians have fresh, local foods while bringing employment
and business opportunities throughout the fruit tree value chain,” said Agriculture Minister Don McRae. The program, which also includes a grafting and budding component, will operate for three years. Growers can apply to participate in the program at any time. The program will be administered by the B.C. Fruit Growers Association, in partnership with the B.C. Investment Agriculture Foundation. “Our association
has been working with the province on ways to bring sustainability to our industry, through the formation of the Tree Fruit Industry Working Group and its recommendation for a
replant program,” said Kirpal Boparai, BCFGA president. B.C. produced 97,000 tonnes of apples in 2011, with about 75 per cent sold in Western Canada.

Politician puzzled by reaction to various pipeline proposals
FROM THE HILL Colin Mayes I am very perplexed at the pipeline phobia spreading in our province. The pipeline to take oil from the oil sands to the Port of Kitimat is one issue, but now there is resistance to the proposal to increase the size of the pipeline from Edmonton to Vancouver. The pipeline from Edmonton to Vancouver, built in 1957, runs through scenic Jasper National Park and down Yellowhead to Kamloops and then on to Vancouver. So, why is there resistance to upgrading this 55 yearold pipeline? There has never been a problem with this pipeline. The owner just wants to increase the capacity of the pipeline which will be built in accordance to new tougher regulations. Compared to the rail alternative, the proposed Gateway Pipeline from Edmonton to Kitimat, in my opinion, is a far better means to transport crude oil. Any pipeline built today in Canada has to conform to the strictest environmental regula-
tions in the world. Canada is a net exporter of natural gas and oil and it is good for our economy to develop new markets rather than to rely solely on the market south of the border. Logic and historical facts tell me that pipelines are a safe and effective way to transport oil and gas, so why the phobia? Some opponents to the pipelines state that there is a risk, for a spill. With that logic, we would not use airplanes to travel. Yes, there is a risk to flying but technology has mitigated most of the risk making it a safer way to travel. Could the underlying resistance be related to a backdoor approach to stopping the Alberta oil sands development? If this were the case and the same people are against development of new mines, and the harvesting and management of our forest resource in British Columbia, please help me resolve the issue of how government is going to pay for all
of their demands for government services without any tax revenue? In your government’s Jobs, Growth and Long-Term Prosperity Budget 2012-2013 we have streamlined the Environmental Review Process for various natural resource developments. The government did not compromise the regulations, but simply made the process timely. Five, six or seven years of process to hear a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ decision is not acceptable. Our actions taken will not make the process less stringent or environmentally irresponsible, but will cut duplication and minimize the tactics used by some to compromise the applicant’s right to a timely due process. My comment is not meant to endorse any application but to assure constituents that any decision is based on a scientific analysis, not a demonstrator’s phobia for pipelines. The decision will also consider the economic value to Canadians.

# Jason Bellows and Verne Stevens were among a group of 20 concerned citizens who came out early last Thursday morning to help clean up the area around McGuire Lake.
Funds available for projects led by seniors Colin Mayes, member of Parliament for Okanagan-Shuswap, is encouraging organizations that work to promote the well-being of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seniors to apply for federal funding. Organizations can receive up to $25,000 in funding per year and must address one or more of the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
five objectives: volunteering, mentoring, expanding awareness of elder abuse, social participation and capital assistance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know how important it is to provide meaningful programs and activities involving seniors,â&#x20AC;? said Mayes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is just one more way we can help support organizations in
their goal to promote and support the quality of life of Canadian seniors.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The New Horizons for Seniors Program helps seniors put their experience to use through volunteerism and mentorship,â&#x20AC;? added Mayes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By investing in these community projects, our government is
improving both the quality of life for Canadian seniors and their neighbourhoods.â&#x20AC;? The application deadline for community-based projects is June 29. For more information about the call for proposals, visit â&#x20AC;&#x153;http:// www.hrsdc.gc.ca/seniorsâ&#x20AC;? www.hrsdc.gc. ca/seniors.

The Shuswap Trail Alliance states that its good working relationship with Federated Co-op continues with a short period of logging taking place along the lower west Reinecker Creek Trail. The forestry company is pushing to have the harvest done quickly within a month and will then work with the Trail Alliance and Columbia Shuswap Regional Distrct Parks to reopen the trail. The Lower East Reinecker Creek Trail that is connected to Herald Park, and the Upper East and West Trail loop, remain open. Watch for logging trucks on the Bastion FSRoad.

Save your tires: think alignment Winter takes its toll on any car or truck if you live in a cold weather climate. During the cold season, roads heave with the frost and grow cracks and potholes that seem impossible for drivers to avoid. The result? Wheels become unbalanced and a car’s steering gets slightly misaligned. Northern drivers know what that means: the tires on their vehicles begin to wear out irregularly and wheels start jiggling around. The car doesn’t steer straight and driving becomes more tedious. When all that happens, it is time to get the wheels balanced and the steering aligned. Spending a bit of money on this kind of maintenance is well worth the investment. For starters, a car out of alignment wears out its tires in an in-
correct way. You can detect this yourself by simply looking at your tires. If you only see wear on a part of one of the front tires, on the inside or outside of the tire, that means that your vehicle really needs an alignment. With newer tires, running your hand along the tread can reveal any sharp edges, another telltale sign of misalignment. If you feel the steering wheel jumping slightly in your hands, that means the front wheels need balancing. If there is a vibration in the floorpan of the vehicle, most probably the rear wheels need balancing. And if both occur, well, you get the drift. Just remember that jumpy wheels cause irreparable damage to the tires, including irregular wear and flat spots, and they must be replaced. And that is
more expensive that balancing them in the first place.

self destroy. The only way to know if yours is going that way is to run your finger along the thin fins running between the radiator tubes. If they crush very easily or, worse, crumble apart, it is definitely time to have the radiator reconditioned. Mind you, a radiator does not have to leak to be shot. Weak fins will not disperse heat properly in summer weather and the engine will start to overheat. If you’re having the

Freshen up your A/C system Maybe you have owned the same vehicle for a few years and have recently started to notice a funny smell inside. If the smell is strongest when you start using the air conditioning, it’s a sure sign that your A/C system needs to be serviced or cleaned. The first thing to do is check to see if your vehicle has a cabin filter. If it does, begin by either cleaning or changing the filter. If you discover it’s quite dirty, chances are the air ducts in the A/C system are also lined with dirt. You could try dismantling the A/C system to clean those ducts, valves
and doors by yourself, and you could deodorize your interior with an aftermarket product, but there is no way you will get it cleaned up as thoroughly as a professional shop could. In fact, it’s a good idea to have the whole system checked by a professional. In many cases, older vehicles have lost some of their refrigerant, a special cooling gas that is essential to the

system. This gas is not meant to be released into the air, as it pollutes the atmosphere. A professional shop will be able to identify leaks, make the necessary repairs, and top off the system with the proper gas. Be sure to get your A/C work done now, though. Don’t wait for those hot days to arrive to make you realize how important air conditioning is in your car!

#Red Wharf at Chase Memorial Park needs repairs, but the floating swim grid, just a couple of years old, will remain as is.
Wharf to be repaired in fall Funding has been put aside to make repairs to the 50-year-old wharf at the beach in Chase Memorial Park. The red wharf is 600
feet long and, according to Chase Public Works Supervisor Pat Regush, every supporting pole is rotting, needing replacement soon.
Village of Chase will contribute 20 per cent of the cost toward fixing the wharf, with the remaining to come from grants from other
levels of government. “The floating portion at the end of the wharf is only a couple years old, so it will stay as is,” said Regush.
Construction on the wharf will begin in the fall when the water level has receded, making it easier to replace pilings for the structure.
Badly beaten resident uncooperative with police By Cavelle Layes MARKET NEWS STAFF
A Chase resident is still in hospital after he was severely beaten in his home more than a week ago. According to Chase RCMP Const. Laura Ford, the call came in around midnight on Friday, May 11. Police then tried to contact the 60-year-old both by phone and in
person but McLeod refused to answer or open the door at his home. He was taken to the Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops where he has remained since. Ford says investigators tried to follow up on the case but the man refused to co-operate. It appears the attack could have been drugrelated, but due to the victim’s refusal to provide information, police
are unable to determine this for certain. “It could end up being [that the attacker was] just a jealous friend,” says Ford. What is for certain is that alcohol was a factor. “This happens quite often,” says Ford. “They are drunk and things go wrong and they do not want to reveal any information when they sober up.”
This case “took quite a bit of manpower on our part,” said Ford. “It’s frustrating.” Ford explains that if it is in the public’s interest, police would press on with the investigation, or if the issue continues. The man is not wellknown to police. Police said that while his condition was not life threatening on May 11, it was certainly se-
vere. No word on his current condition. The victim sold his house several months before and was reportedly required to have all his belongings moved out by last week. However, because he was still in hospital, he was not able to do so.

Filmmakers get recognition Archie and Chayla Wilcox of Chase were given a special mention for their film, Under Pressure, the animated message film which they produced and directed. They received this recognition at the Kamloops Film Society’s Kamloops Independent Short Shorts (KISS) Film Festival. Under Pressure is about the need to recycle to help save the planet. While the animation

from throughout the TNRD entered into the KISS Film Festival next year.” Kostin’s humorous short film Unbreakable was shot in the style of the silent pictures era and incorporates Kamloops’ Riverside Park in a playful way. Mazzotta’s musicdriven, experimental short film Mamania & the Trilobites includes the outskirts of Kamloops around Stake
