# Barrel racer Lana Reimer sends a text message during a break at Barrel Bonanza held over the weekend at the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds. Shuswap riders did well, with Sue Bleile from Chase winning the third division (3D) in the open category, Silver Creek’s Candace Mitchell taking first in the 4D open category, Mariah Mitchell earning first in 1D peewee, and Raquel Marchiel taking top spot in 4D peewee.
Summer Stomp organizers have so far fulfilled requirements set out by the Columbia Shuswap Regional District but RCMP are expressing concern over potential violation of liquor laws for the July 19 to 22 event. Sgt. David Evans, rural operations NCO with the RCMP’s Vernon/North Okanagan Detachment, voiced his concerns. Evans says organizers of any public gathering are required by law to apply for a special liquor licence that allows them to set up a beer garden on the proposed site, something Stomp organizers have not done. “I have concerns around a bring-your-ownbooze policy in the proposed location for a group that size and the related issues that could arise around that,” he said, referring to the remoteness of the Salmon Valley Road location and the fact alcohol can be consumed anywhere on-site. Stomp organizer Steve Hammer would not respond to questions from the Market News, other than to say that they are proceeding with plans to hold the annual event. Evans says servers in beer gardens are legally responsible for not over-serving, can assess the amount of alcohol consumed by a person and monitor age requirements. “To respond to calls puts our officers and members of the public in general at greater risk because it’s not contained to an area. It’s harder to control people, identify people (who are possible troublemakers) and people having access to bottles,” he says. “By virtue of this being a public event it is illegal. There’s any number of events we have that range anywhere from hockey, curling, rodeos, music concerts and when those events wish to serve alcohol, they go through proper process by applySee Police plan on page A2

Large-lot subdivision proposed By Martha Wickett MARKET NEWS STAFF
After a development proposal next to the Appleyard subdivision was turned down by city council last month, Gary Arsenault of Green Emerald Investments Inc. has returned with a different plan for a different location. At Monday’s meeting of the city’s development and planning services committee, council discussed the proposal to rezone property owned by Gary and Sharon Arsenault at 2100 45th Ave. NE from A3, small holding zone, to R7, large lot, single family residential zone. Council members
present showed their support by voting unanimously to forward the item to the June 11 meeting of council. Couns. Marg Kentel and Alan Harrison were absent. Arsenault said he plans on making the subdivision a showcase of homes, including features such as ground source geothermal, cisterns to catch roof water, porous driveways and other environmentally sustainable features. The potential number of parcels permitted under R7 zoning would be 33, but Arsenault is willing to sign a covenant limiting the number to 23, in keeping with the property’s location as a
transition between the Agricultural Land Reserve and future residential development across 20th Street NE.
Corey Paiement The city’s official community plan identifies the need to minimize conflicts between residential and agricultural lands. A staff report notes that this
Police plan for road checks Continued from front ing for a special licence. It gives enforcement the opportunity to review plans to ensure public safety.” “As far as a police presence goes, people cannot be found intoxicated in a public event and that’s a public place,” Evans says, noting his disappointment CSRD directors have chosen not to enforce permitted use regulations which would prohibit the event. He will be asking assistance from other detachments to help police the area that will have Sturgis North and the Armstrong Metalfest running that weekend. “There will be road checks. We will be targeting people driving under the influence,” he cautions. “You will see a very increased police presence throughout the entire Vernon-North Okanagan region.” And while he has only had email contact with the Stomp organization, Evans says he will meet with organizers to address this and other issues. CSRD staff, meanwhile, are in wait-andsee mode. Development services assistant Dan Pass-
more says Stomp organizers met the CSRD’s June 1 deadline set by providing more detailed security, fire management, traffic plans, emergency response and general operations plans. He says Interior Health and BC Safety Authority inspectors will conduct on-site inspections once infrastructure and vendors are on-site.
“It is an evolving situation and the situation will be evolving likely right up to the meeting.” Dan Passmore, CSRD staff
As well, organizers have applied to the Wildfire Management Branch of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources to authorize an exemption for their bonfire, which will be in excess of the half-metre wide by half-metre high campfire restriction that goes into effect June 15 at noon. “As it stands now, the report will be advising the board on the fact
the Stomp has fulfilled all their conditions and the board resolution previously given should stand,” he says of the directors’ decision to rescind bylaw enforcement on the site for the duration of the Stomp, pending more complete reports and a willingness to shut off the music (live or otherwise) at midnight. Passmore says he will be collecting information for directors right up until the June 21 meeting. “It is an evolving situation and the situation will be evolving likely right up to the meeting,” he says. “If anything ugly comes up in the meeting, the board knows about that and has an opportunity to deal with it.” A neighbour who does not wish to have his driveway used as access to the Stomp has not yet heard from organizers, but Passmore says he understands the plan is to route entry away from there. “It is not one of the items the board specifically asked about,” he says. “If they haven’t straightened things out by June 2, the board may look at that and say they won’t want to approve something that creates trespass.”
could be done with fencing to deter household pets from entering the farmland as well as vegetative buffers, both which could be done prior to subdivision. Arsenault objected to this requirement, stating that fencing and landscaping should be done after subdivision because construction would necessitate tearing down a fence or could damage landscaping. Corey Paiement, the city’s director of development services, said he would like to have a covenant in place, but a security could be accepted to allow flexibility in terms of timing and types of trees.

Donate a loonie to help hungry Lineups at food banks have grown substantially in the current economic downturn. And Salmon Arm residents have the chance to help make a big difference with just one dollar. The Second Harvest Food Bank has put together a fundraiser that will continue throughout the month of June. During this time, Second Harvest organizers are asking that Salmon Arm residents donate a single dollar to help their cause. “We believe that there are somewhere in the
neighbourhood of 8,000 to 10,000 families in Salmon Arm,” said Diana Mangold, Second Harvest Food Bank manager. “So if every family donates just one loonie, that would be a tremendous help to Second Harvest.” Donations can be placed in the white mailbox located by the Save-On Foods exit or in the marked cans located at Askew’s and Salmon Arm Health Foods. Second Harvest Food Bank is located beneath Total Pet with a door onto the Ross Street Plaza.

Changes needed to attract doctors Enderby is facing a situation many other B.C. communities, like Chase and the North Shuswap, have experienced in recent years. Doctors are packing their bags for other opportunities or retiring, and that is leaving patients no one to turn to when their health deteriorates. That’s why Enderby’s decision to lobby the provincial government for policy changes is so critical. As it stands, each rural community is classified on an isolation-based point system which determines if incentives are available for doctors moving there. For towns like Enderby, they rate very low because they are next to larger communities, such as Vernon, and not considered isolated. The problem is these smaller towns are often overshadowed by the more populous city and its amenities, and doctors head for the bright lights. The ranking system also doesn’t acknowledge the circumstances facing small communities, no matter their size. Many of them have a growing number of seniors, which places pressure on the medical system, while certain demographics, such as First Nations, have specific health-care needs. Without a sufficient physician base, there is a concern that seniors will leave town, which has significant implications for businesses and the economy. Young families may pass a community by if there isn’t a doctor readily at hand when a child is injured or sick. It’s not enough to send out glossy brochures and say how great the lifestyle is. There must be concrete financial incentives provided if a physician is going to consider moving to a town and committing themselves to residents. The provincial government and, particularly, Shuswap MLA George Abbott, a former health minister, needs to become more active in ensuring the long-term viability of our rural areas. - Vernon Morning Star

OPINION
Derby getting better with age The water level in the lake is on the rise, the carp are in the bay and, last weekend, I saw a couple of kids down at the end of the wharf with their fishing rods. All good signs for the upcoming 16th Annual Salmon Arm Kid’s Fishing Derby, to be held Father’s Day, June 17 down at the wharf. Over the next few weeks I’m sure there will be more young anglers down there on the docks testing the waters, so to speak. There always some of the more ardent anglers who head down there ahead of time and try out different spots along the dock, using different types of lures at different depths. They’re the ones who are the most competitive. The Annual Salmon Arm Kid’s Fishing Derby is open to all children 12 years of age and under. There is no cost to enter the derby. Registration takes place Sunday morning, beginning at 6 a.m., at the end of the wharf. And the only restrictions are that each child must be accompanied by an adult, and each child must wear a life-jacket or PFD. Six certified lifeguards
THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray are on duty throughout the event. Some life jackets are available for children who do not have one. Only coarse fish are eligible for trophies and prizes, and fish must be caught and played by the child. An adult, however, may assist in netting. An awards ceremony will take place immediately following the derby at the end of the wharf where the trophies and major prizes will be handed out. The winner of the annual Kids Fishing Derby will receive the Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union - W. J. (Bill) Murray Memorial Trophy, an IM-6 graphite rod and reel outfit, a $200 RESP Education Bond, and they will get to take their whole
family on an all-expensespaid, weekend fishing trip to Beaver Lake Lodge. This includes accommodation, boat and motor and $100 worth of groceries. Secondand third-place winners will receive rod and reel outfits and RESP Education Bonds. The lucky angler who lands the first fish of the derby will receive the Piccadilly Place Mall Trophy, a rod and reel outfit and a $100 Rotary Club-sponsored RESP Education Bond. Two anglers who catch fish closest to predetermined “secret weights” will have their names scribed onto the Canadian Tire Trophy, and, will each win a brand new shiny mountain bike. The angler who manages to catch the most fish will receive the City of Salmon Arm Trophy, a rod and reel outfit, a $100 Rotary Clubsponsored RESP education bond, as well as a one-year pass to the swimming pool. There is also a whole whack of other great prizes given out throughout the derby. As in previous years, there will also be the special Par-
ent Appreciation draw prize. Adults receive one draw ticket for each child they register. At the awards ceremony, one lucky person will win a fully decked-out barbecue with all the accessories, as well as $100 worth of groceries. And don’t forget the School District #83 Fishing Story Contest, sponsored by the Salmar Theatre, that is held in conjunction with the derby. Students from elementary schools in the area can submit an original fishing story – true or as far-fetched as they can make up – to their teacher. The winner of the best fishing story receives a $100 R.E.S.P. Education Bond, a one-year pass to the show – yes, they get to go to the show any time they want, for free, for a full year. As well, everyone in their class at school also gets a one-time pass to the show. However, long after all the trophies and prizes have been handed out and subsequently are forgotten over time, the kids will still remember the time spent with their parents at the end of the wharf.

MAIL BAG Global warming has a financial, moral cost Ever wonder how people can afford to take time off work to lobby on behalf of Suncor and Enbridge? Investigations have uncovered the fact that lobbyists are being paid by multinational corporations to try to influence government! How ironic that Colin Mayes’ attempt to paint environmentalists as jobless urchins living off the public purse and funds from foreign puppeteers appeared in the Shuswap Market News on the same day that it was announced that atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have reached a sobering 400 parts per million. Mr. Mayes’ article makes many allegations but provides little detail. Who are these paid demonstrators? Which charities have gone past the 10 per cent they are allowed to spend on advocacy?
Environmental groups are hardly the only beneficiaries of American interest group largess. The NRA was involved in the campaign to end the longgun registry in Canada. Was Mr. Mayes similarly outraged when those foreigners were “undermining democracy” in “a sovereign country?” Global warming is a problem that extends beyond our borders. In order to forestall this looming ecological disaster we need to stop building more petroleum-based infrastructure and we need government investment into energy technologies and new energy systems that do not continue to raise CO2 levels. Small ‘c’ conservatives tend to pride themselves on claiming the moral high ground yet the Conservative party seems indifferent to the human suffering already apparent
from global warming. Climate change is today causing crop failure, starvation and climate refugees. Atmospheric pollution and climate change is not just an environmental issue; it is certainly a moral issue. Even fiscal conservatives should have obvious reason to be concerned about global warming. The cost of preventing and repairing damage to infrastructure from ever more powerful storms, extreme weather events and pest infestations will necessitate higher taxes and hurt commerce. In subsequent columns I would like to see Mr. Mayes address the issue of climate change head on, rather than attacking those who want to see our government take action to deal with global warming.

Mobile home changes ‘a slippery slope’ Re: the article, “Council considers mobile home changes,” in the June 1 edition of the Shuswap Market News. The dated, 20-page document that was referred to in the article is Bylaw #162-1978. It contains the instructions for setting up a mobile home park (MHP) in Chase and, when reviewed by Urban Systems to update our Official Community Plan in 2006, was reaffirmed. The renewed OCP stated that, “It is the policy of council to allow only single-wide
mobile or other forms of manufactured housing in areas designated manufactured home residential.” This portion of the OCP was amended by council to allow some residential housing, especially for MHP owners, “where appropriate.” The document contains the requirement that there only be one dwelling permitted in a MHP. Pine Street MHP currently has two as the former office on Pine Street was sold. Rezoning added another. Additionally, the portion of the document that addresses
recreational areas states there must be 500-square feet set aside for each unit for recreational purposes. This may not include space set aside for buffer areas, parking areas, ancillary buildings, mobile home spaces, driveways and storage areas. Pine Street MHP would require 18,000-sq. ft. for this purpose. I believe that the intended building site is the recreational area and another public hearing is required. Above all, I refuse to accept blame for the delays as all of these is-
sues should have been dealt with at the first public hearing. I believe that our competent bylaw officer was overruled to facilitate a speedy rezoning for a single Chase MHP owner. I can see these changes being the slippery slope that allows a MHP to morph into a housing development. Making this an easy possibility will cause anxiety and devalue the investments of the approximately 170 mobile home owners already situated here. Mary A. Porter

SOUTH SHUSWAP Public invited to try sport of pickleball
“Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in North America,” states South Shuswap resident Jim Hall. “Think tennis, badminton, squash, table tennis.” The game was invented in the summer of 1965, in response to “I’m bored” whining from the children of two desperate dads in the Puget Sound area of Washington, Bill Bell and Joel Pritchard. As the whining was replaced by kids yelling at the Pritchard family dog, cocker spaniel Pickles took an interest in the new game, in particular the ball. When he could get away with it, Pickles would fetch the ball and hide in the bushes. ‘Pickleball’ became the name of the game. The game is played with wooden paddles, like a ping-pong paddle. A plastic ball, similar to a slightly larger practice golf ball with holes in it, is the object hit over a
play pickleball. As the Blind Bay Pickleball Club is new, the invitation is out to anyone interested in joining. Call Jim Hall at 250-675-4002 or email jimhall@telus.net for further information.

Sorrento recycling bin still being misused By Barb Brouwer MARKET NEWS STAFF
The message isn’t getting through and the cost could be loss of a service. Sorrento residents could lose their recycling bin after someone dumped several bags of drywall and extra bags in and beside the Sorrento recycling bin recently. “We’re providing a community service,” says Carmen Fennel, Columbia Shuswap Regional District waste reduction facilitator, of longtime illegal dumping issues at the site. “The community requested a recycle bin, but if it continues to be abused, we will have no choice but to remove it.” That happened for several months in 2010
when the caretaker quit over continuing problems of large quantities of non-recyclable material being dumped there. Fennell says CSRD then had a difficult time finding a new contractor to manage the site. “The caretaker’s job is to ensure the site is properly maintained,” says Fennell, noting items that cannot be recycled are hauled to the landfill, at the caretaker’s expense. “They have to clean it up, haul it and pay the tipping fees at the landfill site.” Current contractor Sheila Cook was angry when she arrived at the site to discover the construction waste filled the bin and that others who arrived at the site had simply dumped their recycling items on the adjacent ground.
Cook told CSRD officials she expects the person dropping off the drywall was simply trying to escape paying the tipping fees at the landfill site. “It cost us a lot of money to get rid of it,” she says. The Sorrento site is popular and the bin is emptied about three times a week. But, says Fennell, of all the CSRD recycle bin sites, Sorrento has historically been the most difficult to maintain due to illegal dumping. Caretaker contractors are required to do site visits once every day, but Cook and her family have to go to the Sorrento bin three times a day, every day. “We’ve had things left there like a toaster, a vacuum cleaner, a water cooler and a TV,”

says Cook. “The community lost the bin once and there was such an uproar they brought it back, but the same thing is happening.” Fennell reminds residents that many items such as small appliances and electronics can be dropped off free of charge at Bill’s Bottle Depot in Salmon Arm during business hours. “Leaving them anywhere else is illegal dumping and an added burden on the Cooks,” she says, noting the regional district does have provisions for fines up to $200. “I hope it doesn’t come to the point where we have to give out fines or take the bin away permanently, but if those few people who are dumping their garbage continue to act irresponsibly, we won’t have any choice.”

Mayors form united front By Lachlan Labere MARKET NEWS STAFF
Mayors from the Shuswap and throughout B.C. have put the provincial and federal governments on notice. Last month, 86 mayors convened in Penticton for the inaugural, two-day meeting of the BC Mayors’ Caucus. Among the attendees were Sicamous Mayor Darrell Trouton and Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper. Trouton says he went to the meeting expecting to listen to a “bunch of political jargon.” What he found, however, were mayors of municipalities large and small conversing casually about shared issues and concerns. Cooper says she marvelled when she saw District of Wells Mayor Robin Sharpe chatting with Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, finding out they share common ground. In fact, all of the mayors discovered common ground on a number of issues, key among them being policy changes at the provincial and federal government levels that impact municipalities. “We all had a lot of the same issues with how government policies are, how they’ve been run, and how the federal and provincial government have downloaded on municipalities in order to be political I would say,” says Trouton. “It’s not efficient and it’s not effective.” Cooper says she and her fellow mayors should be at the table when the provincial and/ or federal governments make changes without prior warning that have a negative impact on a municipality’s budget after it’s been set. Caucus members are now calling for a the creation of a Premier’s Round Table, with the B.C. Mayors’ Caucus, to discuss public policy changes that affect local budgets and services. “We’re trying to hold the federal and provincial governments accountable,” says Trouton.

# Sicamous Mayor Darrell Trouton and Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper attend the BC Mayors’ Caucus meetings. Another goal of the caucus is to “eliminate the ad hoc granting process,” that has B.C. communities competing with one another for tax dollars to complete projects that are sometimes vital. “The people pay their taxes and it goes into general tax revenue to the federal and provincial governments,” says Trouton. “In turn, we have to apply for grants, (we have) to go to them hat in hand to find out whether we can get a sewer grant for our community. Guess what? That’s your money to start with.” Cooper shares Trouton’s frustration, adding that when provincial or federal funding is cut or eliminated, eyes turn to municipal councils. “One of the things that we saw was in arts and culture, when they
just suddenly said we’re not funding it…,” says Cooper. “This year there was quite a bit of money in our budget for the art gallery because, otherwise, they didn’t know what they were going to do… It’s a valuable service that we want to retain, so there, right away, that was quite a hit.” What the mayors are asking for is a new partnership with higher levels of government that will be in the best interest of all communities. “We’re the people elected here to represent our community,” says Trouton. “We know better than our provincial government, or Ottawa, knows what our communities need. Yet it seems like they’re dictating to us what we can have and can’t have.” Trouton and Cooper are optimistic that the united voice behind the
BC Mayors’ Caucus is a step in that direction. “I hope it sends a strong voice,” says Trouton, adding the conference hopes to see results prior to the coming provincial election. It will be very interesting. This is the first time in history this has ever happened. There has been some downplaying by different levels of government. I know they’re very nervous by the direction that we’re taking.” Cooper says the mayors’ caucus will supplement the Union of B.C. Municipalities, with the intent of giving mayors, and their municipalities, a stronger voice when dealing with the provincial government. “If we go towards this with a unified voice, and we’re all together on it, then they can’t ignore us,” says Cooper.

Columbia Shuswap Regional District NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING PROPOSED: SOUTH SHUSWAP ZONING AMENDMENT (CSRD) BYLAW No. 701-45 TAKE NOTICE that in accordance with the Local Government Act the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (“Regional District”) will hold a PUBLIC HEARING regarding proposed South Shuswap Zoning Amendment (CSRD) Bylaw No. 701-45. The Board of Directors of the Regional District has delegated the public hearing to Director Ted Bacigalupo as Director of Electoral Area ‘C’, being that in which the land concerned is located, or Alternate Director Jack McInally if Director Bacigalupo is absent. At the public hearing those persons who believe their interest in property is affected by the proposed bylaw will have a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the bylaw. The Board of the Regional District will not consider any verbal or written representations or submissions after the public hearing. Please be advised that written submissions received will be available to the public and the applicant. Written submissions must be received in the Regional District’s office by 4:00 PM Pacific Daylight Time Tuesday, June 12, 2012 or may be submitted at the public hearing. LOCATION AND DATE OF HEARING: The public hearing will be held on Wednesday, June 13, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time, and will be held at the lower level of the Cedar Centre, 2316 Lakeview Drive, Cedar Heights, BC. PURPOSE OF BYLAW NO. 701-45: Bylaw No. 701-45 proposes to amend South Shuswap Zoning Bylaw No. 701 by clearly defining a retaining wall and by exempting certain types of retaining walls from setback requirements, while other types of retaining walls would remain subject to setback requirements. The proposed bylaw amendments create new definitions for highway, sight triangle, finished ground elevation, retaining structures and for landscape retaining structures. The definition for setback will be amended by including structures, while the definition of a fence will be amended to exclude retaining structures and landscape retaining structures. Finally the proposed bylaw amendment includes several changes under the General Regulations – Setback Exemptions section which has the effect of limiting the height of fences within the sight triangle area at intersections and exempts landscape retaining structures from setback requirements, except in certain specific situations. The above descriptions of the purpose and effect of Bylaw 701-45 are only general. The bylaw may have an impact on property owners and tenants in occupation within the area regulated by Bylaw No. 701. It is therefore important for all property owners and tenants in occupation to inform themselves fully as to the nature and effect of the bylaw. INSPECTION OF DOCUMENTS: A copy of Bylaw 701, amending Bylaw No. 701-45 and all reports, plans and other documents that have been or will be considered by the Board of the Regional District will be available for inspection at the office of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, 781 Marine Park Drive NE, Salmon Arm, BC, between the hours of 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific Daylight Time, beginning Monday, May 28, 2012 and ending Tuesday, June 12, 2012 but excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays. This notice is issued by Dan Passmore, Development Services Assistant II, Columbia Shuswap Regional District, on May 24, 2012. The mailing address for Mr. Passmore is Columbia Shuswap Regional District, PO Box 978, Salmon Arm, BC, V1E 4P1. Telephone: 1-250-833-5915; Fax: 1-250-832-3375; Toll Free (BC only) 1-888-248-2773.

The dreams of Capt. Sanogo GLOBAL VIEWS Gwynne Dyer Imagine that you are a junior officer in a West African army. You joined the army at 18, you worked hard, you managed to get sent to the United States four times for various training courses, but somehow the promotions never came. You have just turned forty, and in ten or fifteen years you will have to retire on a captain’s pension. What to do? That is Capt. Amadou Sanogo, and in March he finally figured out what to do. He launched a military coup and declared himself president of Mali. Nice work, if you can get it – but then the roof fell in on his empty head. A military coup against an elected government rarely lasts long if the general population is willing to defend it: the soldiers can usually be driven from power by a general strike. However, Sanogo had some grievances to work with. Mali was extolled elsewhere as a beacon of democracy, but the government was actually both corrupt and incompetent.
The main thing you need for a junior officers’ coup is the support of the ordinary soldiers. There’s not really much it for the men in the ranks, apart from the opportunity to loot: they’re never going to sit in the president’s chair, so they have to be deeply unhappy about the civilian government before they’ll back a coup. Happily for Capt. Sanogo, they were quite cross at President Amadou Toure. Yet another revolt among the Tuareg ethnic group in Mali’s desert north broke out last January, the fourth since 1960. President Toure’s government was not giving the army adequate weapons and supplies to deal with it (or at least that was the army’s excuse). The rebels had only seized a couple of small towns on the far-distant Algerian border, but Malian soldiers were feeling humiliated and neglected. But while the soldiers were very angry at Toure’s government by this March, there was no need for a military coup to change it. National elections were already scheduled for April, and Toure, having completed two terms in office, could not run again. How can you justify using military force to remove a president who is leaving office next month anyway? You can’t, but then

nothing’s perfect. At least the ordinary soldiers at the base Capt. Sanogo commanded just outside the capital, Bamako, were ready to follow his lead. So on 22 March he moved his troops into Bamako and declared that he was taking power because the elected government was not doing enough to halt the rebellion in the north. President Toure went into hiding, and suddenly Capt. Sanogo was the most powerful man in Mali – but within a week two things went badly wrong for him. Sanogo seems not to have realised that ECOWAS, the Economic Community of West African States, strongly disapproves of military coups in its members (since each member government fears such a fate itself). He was therefore surprised when ECOWAS banned all trade across landlocked Mali’s borders and froze Mali’s accounts at BCEAO, the central bank for all the West African countries that use the CFA franc. He was even more surprised when the Tuareg rebels took advantage of the turmoil in Bamako to overrun the entire north of Mali, an area bigger than France, in only one week. There was little fighting: the Malian army units just fled, as did tens of thousands of black African refugees. Pale-skinned
Tuaregs living in the south also became targets for violence. Sanogo’s coup brought about exactly what it was meant to prevent. These events, plus the growing shortage of fuel for transport and electricity (Mali imports all its oil), forced Sanogo to talk to ECOWAS. On 12 April, after only three weeks in power, Sanogo agreed that the speaker of parliament, Dioncounda Traore, would become the country’s interim leader until new elections could be held. Sanogo was paid off with a mansion and a pension suitable for “a former head of state.” Only a week later, however, Traore was severely injured by a mob that invaded his residence while Sanogo’s troops stood by and did nothing. Sanogo is still running things from behind the scenes, while Traore is now in France undergoing medical treatment. And last Saturday the two rival Tuareg rebel groups that now control the north managed to settle their differences and declared the independence of the Islamic Republic of Azawad. For a man whose ambition outran his understanding, Sanogo has accomplished a lot. In just a month he has ruined an imperfect but serviceable democracy and divided it into two hostile states: it will

take years for Mali to recapture the north, if it ever can. And in “Azawad” the fighting will continue, because the black Africans living along the big bend of the Niger river in the south of that territory do not accept Tuareg rule. Those who doubt the ability of mere individuals to change the course of history should contemplate Captain Amadou Sanogo. - Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

Day recognizes historical wrongs
Annual General Meeting
LIVING WELL June 11 is the National Day of Healing and Reconciliation. So what does that mean? In 2008, both Australia and Canada recognized that past government policies of assimilation, and the residential school system, caused great hardship to aboriginal people. Both governments condemned the creation of the system that carried these policies out. In Australia, the day is called Sorry Day and was the original basis
of the National Day of Healing and Reconciliation (NHDR) in Canada. NDHR is a day when we can all learn more about the collective history of aboriginal and non-aboriginal peoples in Canada, and gain a greater understanding of the policies that contributed to the tragic dismantling of aboriginal cultures, language and spirituality. Families, individuals, communities, churches and governments are now moving towards celebrating the
positives of collective healing and reconciliation. As a health-care worker, how does this have relevance to my tobacco reduction work in aboriginal communities? Many of the legacies of a fractured culture are detrimental to the health of our native communities – high rates of tobacco addiction are one example. We have not been immune to the instant gratification of using and abusing commercial tobacco. Fortunately, using cultural practices, language, respect for medicines and traditions, aboriginal people can regain their

ing our own tobacco for use in ceremonies and medicine. We can celebrate our elders and our healers by returning to growing what we use, and not misusing to-

In the spirit of NDHR, many communities in the Interior Health region have taken steps to restore some of these practices and are now growing tobacco for ceremonial use while working hard to help people address addiction to smoking tobacco.

City grants water meter exemption
a D y s ’ r e h t a F June 17
By Martha Wickett MARKET NEWS STAFF
Council members shut the tap Monday on installing water meters at Roots and Blues Festival campgrounds. At the June 4 meeting of the city’s development and planning services committee, the mayor and councillors present voted unanimously to not make water meters a requirement for two sites offering temporary camping during the festival. City engineering staff had recommended installing meters because the current city standard for residential properties getting a plumbing permit – which the campgrounds require – triggers the need for an upgrade to a metered service. That allows the city to manage water in a way that conserves energy, sustains the environment, saves money and other benefits, states a city report. Roots and Blues had applied for a temporary use permit for properties across from the fairgrounds at 550, 690 and 1300 10th Ave. SW. Only the latter two properties were cited, because a meter was recently installed at 550 10th Ave. SW when a building permit was required for a building on the site. David Gonella addressed the meeting on behalf of Roots and Blues, saying he has spoken to the landowners in question and their response to water meters was negative. He said they feel they are doing the festival a favour so would prefer not to do it at all if they have to go to the expense of installing meters. “It’s not a financial gain for them, they’re doing it for the community,” he said. Mayor Nancy Cooper and Couns. Debbie Cannon, Ken Jamieson, Denise Reimer and Chad Eliason all voted against including the staff recommendation Coun. Chad Eliason for water meters. Couns. Alan Harrison and Marg Kentel were absent. Eliason said he thinks meters are unnecessary and requiring their installation would be “going overboard.” Cannon said the festival brings lots of people to the community, so she doesn’t support meters, particularly if the campgrounds don’t have water available at individual campsites, just at one main location. Reimer said she thinks low-flush toilets would be a priority before the city starts looking at water meters. Jamieson said water meters are not something council has identified as a priority, but he thinks this should serve as a heads-up it could become one. “I’m not in favour (of including water meters now) but I think it’s important that it’s part of the conversation in the future.” Last June, the council of the day unanimously upheld the decision to waive the need for water meters for 2011 on the temporary camping sites, with the intent of reviewing the matter in 2012. This year the festival plans to open the campgrounds at Thursday noon instead of Friday in order to alleviate congestion. In addition, a queue system will be used which is intended to remove campers from lining up on 10th Avenue.

# Salmon Arm Midget Outlaws Justin Backus and Carson Hoult work together to contain a Prince George Posse player during a 5-5 tie played at the Halverson Memorial Lacrosse Tournament held over the weekend at the Shaw Centre.

West worked as an as- Brandon West sistant coach on Rylan Ferster’s staff with the Westside Warriors of the BCHL in 2011-2012, and has been selected by Team Pacific to work as an assistant coach at the 2013 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge. “Brandon is a young, motivated coach, who has an impressive coaching resumé already at such a young age,” said Mick. Also joining the team is Rob Morphy, the ’Backs new director of scouting and head scout. Morphy spent several years as head scout for the Vernon Vipers, where he and Mick won the 1999 Royal Bank Cup in Yorkton, Sask. “We have had a lot of successes together over the years and we look forward to doing it again with the SilverBacks,” said Mick. In other news, local fans have probably noticed a familiar name has been competing for the holy grail of hockey, the Travis Zajac

ON THE PITCH Kevin Harrison while thinking I must be at a St. Patrick’s Day celebration. From the Scandinavian countries’ Viking outfits or the Bavarian-dressed Germans, the European Championships or the World Cup Soccer tournaments bring people together in friendship and good times. For 12 straight days, starting Friday, June 8, Canada’s sports networks will show two live games a day, until the end of the roundrobin stage on Tuesday, June 19. The top two placing teams out of the four groups will then continue on to the single-loss elimination knockout stages, until we’re left with the final two teams playing on Sunday, July 1 at 11:45 a.m. for the championship title. Will defending European and World Cup Champion Spain repeat or will the loss to in-
Any fan is a winner who is lucky enough to witness a game in person or... the amazing atmosphere and festivities of a host city on game day.
Could this be another European tournament for an underdog team to win? Like Greece shocking the football world by beating the host Portuguese in the 2004 final or Denmark’s final victory over the Germans in 1992.
Closer to home, the Canadian men’s soccer team begins another stage of 2014 World Cup qualifying tonight in Cuba and continue with a home game on Tuesday in Toronto. Having only played in one of the previous 19 World Cup tournaments, Canada had an impressive tie this past Sunday against a high-ranked American team. On the local front, at least seven Shuswap Youth Soccer products are currently making us proud by playing for the Thompson Okanagan in the BC Soccer Youth Premier League. Good luck to all of our Shuswap FC Select teams as they all attempt to qualify for the provincial championships in the next 10 days. Shuswap Youth Soccer is very proud of the effort these boys and girls, aged 13 to 18, have made competing against much larger soccer districts in the Thompson Okanagan Youth Soccer League. Until next time, we’ll ‘see you on the pitch.’

One country that always seems to peak for European or World Cup tournaments is the Germans, who if they can survive the “Group of Death” that includes Denmark, Portugal and their very strong Dutch neighbours, could be competing for the title on July 1.

After long anticipation, the “Bighorn” has arrived, ready to zip in mid-June. Ron Betts, one of the owners of Treetop Fliers, said it’s a good feeling and he’s looking forward to serving eager customers. South of Chase where the rest-stop was recently closed, Betts and his partners and crew are putting the finishing touches on the new trails up to the top of Three Sisters Falls (formerly known as Chase Falls). The “Bighorn” starts at the second of the three small connecting falls. The line is 1,000 feet long, terminating in the newly landscaped picnic area. With the incredible view of the falls from a well-placed rock perfectly shaped for seating, spectators can watch the fun as well. Due to the vastness of the canyon, a person on the zipline is hardly noticeable in the scenery. In addition to expanded hiking trails to the falls, there is a walkway passing under the Trans-Canada Highway toward a Village of Chase parking lot, adjacent to the public works yard. The capital investment has been significant. “Treetop Fliers is committed to the Chase community,” says Betts. “The plan is to bring traffic to other businesses in town as well.”

Village of Chase NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
He said there were challenges along the way, mentioning the toilet facilities that hadn’t been cleaned for two years. Somehow maintenance of site had been neglected and responsibility fell to the new leaser-holders. Zipliners will be transported up to the starting point. Improved hiking trails remain open to the public with a goodsized picnic area next to a mountain stream. The entire site is in the final stages of completion. The scenery is breathtaking; even sheep have been curiously watching as the project unfolds from the side of their mountain.

# An anonymous Romeo painted a note to ‘Diane’ on some rocks up the hill south of Chase.
Romance alive in the hills Look up, look way up, and there on the side of the hill, to the south of Chase, there’s a love note, to Diane. The sign brought a smile to this face, and apparently has the same effect on anyone else who’s seen it. It makes me wonder how Diane
VILLAGE VOICE Lynda Hooper
feels about her suitor going to such ‘great heights’ to impress. Is this graffiti art or vandalism? A Village of Chase councillor said it was out of village area concerns and this is a regional district issue. Weather will likely wash away this mes-
sage soon, along with the manmade scar on nature. For now, Romeo is anonymous. We do know he must be agile as a mountain goat, rock climbing to accomplish his lofty demonstration of affection.
Boil water advisory lifted for Pritchard On June 1, the Thompson-Nicola Regional District issued a notice it is rescinding the boil water notice issued for the Pritchard Community Water
System on April 30. The subsequent water quality tests have shown the water to be safe for consumption. Boiling the water is no longer required.
Should someone other than the property owner occupy the residence (such as a tenant), owners are asked to provide this information to them.
A written notice will follow by mail. If the public has any questions, they’re asked to contact the TNRD Utility Department at 1-877- 377-8673.

Snip it in the bud. Thousands of unwanted and homeless animals are dropped off at SPCA shelters each year, and many more are simply abandoned by their owners. Please don’t let animals suffer needlessly – be part of the pet overpopulation solution. Spay or neuter your pet and encourage others to do the same.
For information on the benefits of spaying and neutering, visit the BC SPCA website at www.spca.bc.ca.

# Helen Schaefers trays up plants for a customer at the Chase Garden Centre, located next to the Safety Mart in Chase. Operated with partner Grant Hein, the business is in its first year and opened on Mother’s Day.
Marechal Foch earns gold Celista Estate Winery, located on the north shore of Shuswap Lake, is celebrating results of the All Canadian Wine Championships with a gold medal win for its 2010 Marechal Foch. “Our concentration has been to produce the best wines possible, and so far we have been rewarded with a number of silver and bronze medals in various Canadian and U.S. competitions,” says Jake Ootes who, with his spouse Marg, own Celista Estate Winery. “Of course we are extremely pleased now to win a gold medal for our Marechal Foch,
especially in Canada’s most prestigious wine competition. This dark red wine is a great accompaniment to charbroiled red meat, spaghetti and pizza.” Ootes says they have been growing grapes for 10 years and opened their winery three summers ago, on July 2, 2010. “Ever since we started we have worked hard on our grape production and on our winemaking to get the best possible quality.” The judging competition was held in Windsor, Ont. in midMay. Since 1981 the All Canadian Wine
Championships has been considered the country’s leading wine competition. More than 1,100 wines were critiqued by a panel of 14 wine writers, sommeliers and accredited wine judges from coast to coast. Wines are judged for sensory components, varietal character and structural soundness. Celista Estate Winery is open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. throughout the summer and fall. Wine tasting is free, and visitors can buy a glass of wine to enjoy on the garden patio, which provides a panoramic view of
Shuswap Lake and the surrounding mountains. “The atmosphere makes the wine taste better, and so I have been working on enhancing the property with a stonework entrance, flowers, shrubs, trees and manicured lawns,” says Marg of their 160-acre property. Bottles of wine can be purchased on the premises at the winery and at the local stores on the North Shore of Shuswap Lake as well as in Chase, Blind Bay, Sorrento, Salmon Arm and Kamloops.

Girl Guides celebrate year of fun After a year of weekly meetings, girls of all ages have been bonding through worthwhile activities, with much dedication to helping others. On Saturday, May 26, Chase Sparks, Brownies, Guides,
Pathfinders, unit helpers, and leaders got together for a day of fun to wrap up the Guiding year. The theme for the day was camping. Older girls showed the younger ones how to set up tents, mak-
ing camp gadgets out of string and logs. Girl Guides at all levels prove to be resourceful and creative given the opportunity. All the girls went on a nature walk, interpreting trail signs made of sticks and rocks by
following the determined instructions. They played a variety of games, roasted hotdogs with fresh veggies for lunch. Around a campfire, the girls sang songs, toasted marshmallows for a smores treat.

Economic plan working FROM THE HILL Colin Mayes I have received a number of emails from constituents questioning the size and comprehensiveness of our Budget 2012-13. First, let me say that this budget is a continuation of our Economic Action Plan. The Economic Action Plan is your government’s comprehensive strategy for jobs and growth for Canada. The plan covers many economic sectors and government ministries and hence a large, very detailed budget, addressing everything from the environmental review process, to Employment Insurance policy; to skills train-
ing for labour market needs, to immigration policy for labour market needs and investments in technology and innovation, just to name a few initiatives. Government services or regulations have not been watered down in the budget, just streamlined and simplified. To help Canada through these uncertain economic times, we need to move forward quickly and remain focused if we are to have jobs for all needing employment. While keeping taxes low, we still need economic growth in order to be able to pay for public services, seniors’ programs, and pay down the national debt. The Human Resources Development Canada Standing Committee, of which I am a member, has been studying labour and skills shortages in Canada. The mining sector has forecasted $500
billion in capital investment in the next 10 years. The construction trade unions have told us they will need a minimum of 250,000 more tradespeople in the next 10 years. Healthcare workers, the high tech sector, and almost every level of government service, will need up to 50 per cent replacement workers just for retirees in the next 10 years. We need to plan now for our economic future. I cannot fathom why the parties across the floor want your government to change course. The proof is in the pudding. The plan is working. Canadians have the best debt to GDP in the G20. Our banks have been acclaimed as the most secure in the world. Our job growth since the economic slowdown is the highest in the G7, and the IMF has stated that Canada is the best-positioned country in the world
coming out of the economic slowdown. So why would the opposition want to change course? The 2012-2013 budget has been debated more than any budget in 20 years. Once the bill was referred to committee, a special sub-committee was created to focus on the responsible resource development changes. After three nights of sitting, Conservative MPs were there, witnesses were there, but the NDP critics were not. The Opposition cried about process because they have nothing useful to say. We know this because we’ve given them an unprecedented amount of time to debate the bill and they have had nothing to say at every turn.

Your Directory To Our Local Business Professionals
Nominate your neighbour, the people down the street, yourself or someone’s water garden, vegetable garden or best overall garden. Photos of one of these gardens will be featured in the Salmon Arm Observer each week, starting in June. The only stipulation is that the garden must be in the City of Salmon Arm.
- Colin Mayes, is the Member of Parliament for Okanagan-Shuswap
Profile of the week Tom & Teresa Rankin own the local 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise. 1-800-GOT-JUNK? offers full service junk removal. From furniture to appliances, renovation debris to yard waste, rental clean-outs to pre and post moves, they will take anything that two people can move. When customers consider the costs of owning a pick up and/or trailer that only receives very occasional use, versus hiring someone to haul their junk, the savings become very apparent. In addition customers really like how hard 1-800-GOT-JUNK? works to divert items from the landfill and supports local organizations. They recycle and donate about half of the items that they pick up to support local churches, charity stores, schools, sports groups and other social organizations. 1-800-GOT-JUNK?’s crews are covered by WCB and commercial liability insurance, as well as doing criminal and drivers abstract checks. To have your junk hauled away, call 1-800-468-5865 today!

Rotary Member Club: Shuswap Rotary Club 05-06 Past President of the Shuswap Rotary Club
Daybreak Rotary Club
SOLD OUT! Again! What a fun event and a great ¿nancial success! Fellow Rotarians, family, friends and the community all gathered together Saturday, May 26th at the SASCU Recreation Centre for the 9th Annual Lobsterfest. Prime rib and 1.5 pound lobsters, drinks, smiles and dancing to “Cod Gone Wild” was the buzz of the event. You couldn’t ask for more! This Daybreak Rotary fundraiser will make it possible for the club to support community projects. We are currently working with the City of Salmon Arm and we hope to put in a “spray park” at Blackburn Park.
Looking forward to an exciting year 250-832-9915

Dave King and Cary Lentz were greeters at the event.
The star attraction!
Every spring and fall the Salmon Arm Daybreak Rotarians pick up litter on a 2 km stretch of the Trans Canada Hwy., west of Salmon Arm. This spring, Rotarians, family and friends pitched in to make that stretch of the highway clean again. Tires, lumber, road kill, fast food waste, cigarette butts (yuck) and even a truck box liner were the Àavours of the day.
Do you want to join a Rotary club? Rotary club members are men and women of all ages and professional backgrounds who use their talents, skills, and energy to improve the lives of people in communities at home and around the world. There’s something that all Rotary club members have in common: We take action. As community volunteers, we reach out to neighbors in need. We build, support, and organize. We save lives. We work locally and globally. Around the world and around the corner, the 1.2 million men and women of Rotary • Get involved in their communities • Connect with other professionals
• Share their time and experience with young people • Support global causes, such as eradicating polio • Use their skills to help others Whether you’re a veteran volunteer or new to community service, we’re looking for people like you. Why join Rotary? Maybe you’ve seen a need in your own community and wondered how you could help. Maybe you want to use your professional skills to help others — or even learn new skills. Maybe you’re seeking connections with other service-minded professionals in your community or abroad.
