Swansea Point residents are feeling cautiously optimistic that work will finally be done to repair Hummingbird Creek and alleviate the risk of further flooding. On Feb. 6, Tina and Dan Keely and other Swansea Point residents received a letter from Premier Christy Clark’s executive officer, Cameron Lewis, assuring work would soon begin to repair the creek, left full of debris from a flash flood that occurred over the summer. The letter arrived the same morning BC NDP Safety Critic Kathy Corrigan came to tour the area. “Just before we went on the tour, this letter came from the government saying they were going to fix Hummingbird Creek, which we thought was absolutely spectacular because we’ve had, I don’t know how many more government reports done since last June, and every one of those reports – that we’ve been able to get our hands on – have said get that creek fixed, and get it fixed now.” B.C. Ministry of Transportation spokesperson Kate Trotter confirmed in an email that work will soon begin on the creek. “Work at Hummingbird Creek is being organized right now, and will be completed before spring freshet,” writes Trotter. In addition, a 90-minute public meeting is being held on Wednesday, Feb. 13, 7 p.m. at the Swansea Point Community Hall, during which details of the work will be discussed. On June 23, 2012, residents of the small community were forced to evacuate when a flash flood occurred along Hummingbird Creek. Boulders,

n Tina and Dan Keely stand at an upper portion of Hummingbird Creek. As temperatures rise, the debrisfilled channel is a growing concern for the Keelys and other Swansea Point residents, who are anxious not to see it flood again. The province says work to reconstruct the creek will begin soon. trees and other heavy debris caught in the flow blocked a culvert going under Highway 97A, causing the channel to divert. A torrent of water and debris moved over the highway and down along Swansea Road and elsewhere in the community, causing substantial damage to roads, vehicles, homes and everything in its path. The neighbouring Hummingbird Beach Resort was also impacted by the flash flood. Residents of 2 Mile, in the District of Sicamous, were evacuated at the same time as those in Swansea Point, as a similar flash flood and debris flow was happening along Sicamous Creek.

The creek and highway in 2 Mile have since been repaired. In Swansea Point, however, residents have been growing increasingly anxious. Though the section of 97A damaged by the flash flood and the culvert beneath were quickly restored, the channel itself remains full of debris. And with the culvert as it was prior to the flooding, Lois Schurek, who lives along the creek, is hoping for quick action from the province. She says if the government doesn’t do something soon, she will. “If they don’t come and un-dam it by the time it gets to four feet, I’m

going to be saying, ‘I want to be paid to do your work,’” laughed Schurek, while standing beside a large portion of her property that is now a boulderfilled creek bed. Schurek adds that, as a result of the flooding, the creek is now significantly higher, making the culvert less effective – a point she and the Keelys are well aware of given the recent warm weather. “All of these flows or debris events, the earliest we’ve had on record is June 23,” says Tina. “But every year it gets

n Mike Thomas shows NDP safety critic Kathy Corrigan the damage on his property caused by this summer’s flooding of Hummingbird Creek.

Residents lobby for repairs residents haven’t been able to access two separate reports on the creek completed by the province, and referred to in the Feb. 6 letter, to get an idea of the scope of the work that’s been recommended. And she is concerned what the province is offering may not be enough. “What it looks like it is doing to me is offering to return the channel to somewhat what it was like before last summer, but it isn’t addressing the root causes of the problem,” said Corrigan. “And that’s what the people want. And I think that’s legitimate. What is the point of restoring the creek bed if you have the potential of another thing happening.” Timeliness of the creek repair is indeed a concern for Schurek and the Keelys, as is ongoing maintenance of the creek once the work is complete. Though, at this point, they are relieved to see any work done. “We are cautiously optimistic because we’ve had this promise given to us so many times before,” says Tina.

warmer and, as climate change goes on, our freshets get earlier, and we can’t afford a freshet at all unless something is done on the creek. Because there are no banks in parts of the creek, and people’s wells are sitting in the creek or on the edge… so we have to get this damage repaired.” Tina says all the attention Swansea Point is now receiving from the province, as well as Corrigan’s visit, is owed to residents, full-time and seasonal, who have been expressing their concerns and complaints to MLAs. “We started blitzing the government because we’d just had it,” says Tina. “As it turned out, everybody went home after the summer was over, and because our people who live here live all over the province and Alberta, they started blitzing their own MLAs wherever they lived, to tell them about all the damage done here and no one was fixing anything,” Tina explained.

Corrigan confirmed her visit was prompted by letters from Swansea Point residents/property owners including the Keelys and Hummingbird Beach Resort president Steele Jordan. “It was because they were so concerned the window of opportunity is going to close fairly quickly and if work isn’t done, it will be too late,” explained Corrigan in an interview. After touring Swansea Point and seeing the work that needs to be done, Corrigan says she is convinced Hummingbird Creek is a safety concern, which she plans to raise in the legislature. “There’s been a lot of discussion about what needs to be done, but what’s happened is they’ve hit brick walls where they say we (the province) don’t have the funding for it,” said Corrigan. “Well, that’s not good enough. This work needs to be done and it needs to be done by the province. This is a provincial creek. It is the responsibility of the province to make it safe.” Corrigan noted how

n Canadian folk icon Bruce Cockburn will perform on the Roots and Blues Stage this summer.

Described as one of the most important songwriters of his generation, “a true poet laureate of the people,” Bruce Cockburn will be back on the Roots and Blues Festival slate this year. Other labels attached to the prolific talent – (31 albums that have sold over seven million copies worldwide) include folk icon, musical maestro and tireless activist. In an extraordinary career that has spanned four decades, Cockburn has indeed produced an acclaimed body of work. Born in 1945 in Ottawa, Cockburn early discovered the music of Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry, which would set the course for his life. Upon leaving high school, he travelled around Europe, busking on the streets of Paris (spending a night in jail there for performing without a licence) and getting a taste of the bohemian life. Back on this side of the pond, he attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston for two years, but spent more time seeing local jazz performers and jamming with others than he did on his studies. Realizing he wasn’t willing to put the commitment in that was required, he returned to Ottawa after two years, hooking up with local poet and musician Bill Hawkins and his band, The Children. Hawkins encouraged the budding artist to write his own songs, leading to Cockburn playing in a va-

riety of other area bands ranging from blues to psychedelic rock through the next few years, honing his skills. Believing the songs he was writing worked better with just voice and acoustic guitar, Cockburn went solo in 1969. His guitar work and songwriting skills won him an enthusiastic following in Canada, but it was Dancing in the Dragon’s Jaws, released at the end of the decade, that propelled him into the mass musical consciousness with its hit Wondering Where The Lions Are. A bouncy song with a reggae feel, it garnered him a performance slot on Saturday Night Live, exposing him to a wide U.S. audience. In the 1980s, Cockburn’s songwriting became increasingly more political. He shifted gears and entered the 1990s with a more introspective, roots-rock and folk. The late ’90s saw him very involved with the effort to ban landmines worldwide, participating in many fundraising activities and shows and visiting war-torn countries. He was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2001. In the same year, the Canadian Association of Broadcasters (CAB) inducted Cockburn into the Canadian Broadcast Hall of Fame.

Mussels demand immediate action Local officials aren’t trying to be alarmist but there’s no question an environmental, economic and social threat is at our door. There is growing concern that zebra and quagga mussels will arrive in the Okanagan, just the latest stop on their spread across North America. The problem is they are indigenous to eastern Europe and they have played havoc with new world ecosystems such as Ontario’s Great Lakes. These mussels clog water intake pipes, pumps and boat motors. They also deplete food sources for fish and produce toxins that kill fish and birds and contaminate drinking water. “The mussels can decompose bridges,” said Juliette Cunningham, with the Okanagan Basin Water Board. Tourism can also take a hit as, “They’re like razor blades when they wash up on the beach,” said Cunningham. And the region has already had a close call. In July 2012, quagga mussels were discovered on a boat that was transported to the Shuswap from Arizona. That situation was contained but it indicates how easily our environment could be changed forever. Of course, we are already familiar with the problems invasive species can cause in the Okanagan — mysis shrimp competing with kokanee for food and starlings devastating farm crops. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee is writing the federal government, demanding action to address the spread of the zebra and quagga mussels. And that is where the battle must start as it is federal and provincial authorities who have the resources and legislative power to restrict the movement of the mussels. Of course, the spread of the creatures across the continent may mean senior government has already dropped the ball. -Vernon Morning Star

OPINION

Time slips through your fingers Although spring is in the air, February still seems frozen in place and, in spite of the warm weather of late, the Farmer’s Almanac says that we are in for cold weather for some time to come. Personally, I’ve had enough. This whole winter business lasts way too long for me. These days I find myself spending a lot of time just looking out the window thinking about things – about time and how it just sort of slips through your fingers like sand, about past seasons and about this coming fishing season. I’ve also been thinking about all the times that I didn’t go fishing last season, for what ever reason. Why acquire any more regrets than we already have? Which I guess brings me to my point. When fishing season does finally roll around, I’m going to try and get out on the water a little more often. First off though, I’m going to have to buy myself another boat. I sold my last boat, in part because it brought back a lot of mem-

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray ories every time I looked at it. My old dog Duff sure did like going out in that boat. Part of me regrets getting rid of it, but there are other boats. Ones that don’t leak. I’ve owned a fair number of boats in my day but, when it comes to fishing and fishing gear, I am not really what you could call a purist. Maybe a sentimentalist, but definitely not a purist. A boat is just a boat. A fishing rod is just a fishing rod. Except, of course, my father’s Orvis Battenkill fly rod. That means more to me than anything I own. I guess I’ve owned and used just about every sort of fishing gear there is - everything from steel bait casting rods to 15 foot spey rods,

“egg beater” spinning reels to centre pins and, along the way, I’ve cast lines and caught fish with some pretty classic gear, including my father’s hand-made Scaracione salmon reel. If I’ve accumulated a lot of gear, I’ve also acquired a lot of very good memories. The trick, I guess, is to acquire less gear and actually spend time on the water using the gear you already have. These days I really do prefer fly fishing. Whether with a single-handed rod or one of my long two-handed spey rods, I find fly fishing more tactile, more exciting. Although in some ways it can be a lot more technical, it is also simpler in that it is, well, more satisfying, more peaceful. Fly fishing is a good fit for me. I like the feel of a fly rod in my hand. I like the fluid motion of casting and watching my (more often than not imperfect) presentation land on the water. I love it when a trout rises to my fly pattern sitting there on the surface of the water. I may not be a proficient fly caster, but I do catch the oc-

casional fish – when I manage to get out there. The whole art of fly fishing thing is certainly a far cry from the days when I was a kid heading down to the creek with an old metal rod and a can of worms. Casting a line to fish holding in the shadow of a rock or overhanging branch alongside the creek was simply a question of lobbing a worm on a hook out to the fish, and hoping the sound of it hitting the water attracted it rather scaring it away. Fishing was less about technique, and more about anticipation and satisfaction. What I wouldn’t give to be a kid again. What I wouldn’t give to sit on a rock somewhere with my cousin Charlie and take my shoes off, let my feet dangle in the water, cast my line and not have a care in the world. What I wouldn’t give to have a few of those grains of sand back again.

Writer questions Area C’s OCP process, conclusions

We read it’s a ‘myth’ that the Area C official community plan has not been adequately reviewed by the public. There were two public forums, no newsletters, and little content releases in the seven years. Few go to unadvertised OCP advisory meetings. Did they mention the creation of a Village at Balmoral? Will it adversely affect businesses in Sorrento? A Village Centre’ at Balmoral is new

to the public. Did the OCP content reach the public? A “Myths and Facts” article by Area C CSRD director Paul Demenok states that “every comment was reviewed and considered.” These comments are written submission letters compiled into three OCP binders. We found just five letters unenthusiastically agreeing with new medium density. One person wrote strongly worded letters

for it. What is your conclusion? It does not mention the Trans-Canada Highway concerns, so prominent in people’s letters. Many dislike “urban sprawl” clogging the TCH. MOT has put an underpass where the present plan indicated there is a population density need. Major density will be at Balmoral corner where there is no underpass. Did the OCP listen to concerns about a dan-

gerous intersection? All city planners admit we need our agricultural land. Demenok’s article says that in 2012, “substantial changes” were made “because of your comments” for the “protection of farmland.” Is it then sensible to take a large ALR property out for urban development? All city planners admit they could use their city centres better. There would be less bussing of children. Se-

niors would be able to get to services easily. TRUE Consulting was paid $100,000 and said the town centre should be in Sorrento. Is the OCP listening? The mantra is, ‘It has to go somewhere.’ Is it greed that says we need another urban center? We should keep nature where nature belongs, and enjoy what the government describes a “Supernatural B.C.”

FrOm the hill Colin Mayes In his continued effort to clean up immigration and refugee system abuses, the minister of citizenship and immigration, Jason Kenney, tabled the Faster Removal of Foreign Criminals Act. I will not go into details as to the provisions, but to say that the act focuses on three areas that will: make it easier for the government to remove dangerous foreign criminals

be in jeopardy if they were sent back home. The criminals would be back on the street within a few days but the appeals would take months or years. Don’t get me wrong, most refugees coming to Canada are legitimate. They come here to enjoy the freedoms we enjoy and to make a new life for themselves and their families. They work hard and contribute to this great nation. We are not targeting these people. I am certain you will approve of these actions. I cannot understand why the Opposition does not share our commitment to protect the safety and security of Canadian families, and have criticized our efforts to crack down on foreign criminals.

Conservatives move for faster removal of foreign criminals from our country; make it harder for those who may pose a risk to Canada to enter the country in the first place, and remove barriers for genuine visitors. I spoke with a Vancouver police officer a couple of years ago, and he asked me, “when is your government going to do something about immigration?” He told me that he often came in contact with refugees who had come to Canada as construction workers but instead were trafficking illegal drugs. The police would arrest them and when the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration attempted to send them back to their country of origin, they would file an appeal to the Refugee Board saying their life would

South ShuSwap Grow discovered under shed By Tracy Hughes

MARKET NEWS STAff

RCMP raided an underground marijuana grow operation last Wednesday, seizing approximately 7,000 plants and arresting one man. Police say they believe this grow operation, described as “sophisticated,” is part of a larger network of grow operations in the area that police have been investigating for some time. The search took place on an 80-acre rural property on Wells Bank Road near Sorrento. The plants were in various stages of growth.

RCMP discovered a large underground bunker which had been built beneath a hay shed. In addition, the residence on the property had been designed to operate a marijuana grow operation inside. Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane of the Salmon Arm RCMP detachment called the large-scale operation “a telltale sign of the presence and activity of organized crime.” A 52-year-old Sorrento man was arrested at the scene and is now facing charges of production of a controlled substance.

Quilt week a chance to meet, stitch and learn Shuswap quilters will be getting together once again to relax, mingle, create and, of course, learn throughout a very special annual getaway. The Shuswap is in no way suffering a shortage of talented and creative people, each of whom have found their own way of expressing their artistic selves. Some, create in solitude, while others prefer to combine their talents with others such as musicians creating a band. The Shuswap’s Kathy Kinsella considers herself to be a soli-

tary artist. “I am actually one who works well alone,” says Kinsella in a press release, “but I also crave the stimulating company of people who love to work and play with fabric and fibre.” One of her favourite weeks of the year is Quilt Week at Sorrento Centre. It has been happening every spring for many years and Kinsella describes the value of getting together with other quilters as astonishing. This year, there will be three workshops to choose from, each will

provide instruction and assistance for the participants’ chosen projects. But the day doesn’t have to end at supper time. Participants are welcome to sew into the wee hours if they choose, or relax in one of the comfy lounges that are located in each lodge building. There is also the opportunity for a field trip to a nearby quilt shop and a show-andtell evening with participants from all three workshops. This year, the work-

Choir brings light to dark winter

Rejuvenation is the focus of this year’s concert by the Northern Lights Chamber Choir. The choir presents Rejuvenation, under the direction of Steve Guidone and accompanied by Jim Johnston. While the word “rejuvenation” elicits thoughts of health, renewed energy and joy, Guidone believes it is through life’s hard moments that we learn to appreciate happiness. “The idea of the concert is about all the things we encounter in life, the happy parts, looking back, looking forward… that’s how I put the concert together,” he says. “I am very excited about it.” Guidone is also excited that Johnston will

again be at the piano. Sandy Cameron will perform in one of the pieces that has a cello and clarinet, Barbara Ennis will play the cello and Jaeden IzikDzurko will play a piece by Franz List. Guidone says the first half of the concert is a balance of serious and lighter material, but the second half is very light. He says a workshop with George Roberts, director of music at Vancouver’s Capilano University in January, was extremely valuable. He says Roberts, who was the vocal/choral adjudicator at Shuswap Music Festival last season, focused on challenges the choir was having.

The Heart of the Shuswap keeps beating; and the pulse is strong. This is the feeling that was communicated loud and clear as Sorrento celebrated its centennial year in 2012. The tempo in the community never slowed once. “Our slogan, ‘Sponsors make it Possible — Volunteers make it Happen,’ held true throughout the year.” said Barry Stokes, chair of the Sorrento 100 Committee. “My heartfelt thanks to each and every one of our sponsors, to each and every one of our volunteers.” The final tally showed that sponsors contributed in excess of $40,000, in addition to approximately $15,000 worth of donations in kind. “This is a significant accomplishment for a small community,” says Stokes . The success of the centennial festivities was celebrated recently at a sponsors’ appreciation event with hors d’oeuvres and

The Shuswap’s pioneer politician ShuSwap paSSion Jim Cooperman George Abbott was not the first Shuswap politician that rose to prominence in Victoria. Sicamous pioneer and renowned lumberman, Rolf Wallgren Bruhn was first elected to the legislature in 1924 and, during his long political career he served as a cabinet minister and became well-known for his honesty, independence and sincerity. Interestingly, Abbott wrote the only biography of Bruhn that is also available online. Born in 1878, Bruhn grew up in Sweden, the son of Alex Wallgren, a Crown Reeve who after being accused of embezzlement fled alone to Canada and changed his name to Bruhn. The Wallgren family was left in dire straits and Rolf and his siblings had to work hard after school to help make ends meet. After winning a raffle, he gave the bulk of his proceeds to his mother and used the rest to buy a ticket

to Canada, where he too changed his name to Bruhn. After working as a sailor on the Great Lakes, he joined his father in Malakwa where he took up a homestead and married Anna Treat, a recent immigrant from Missouri. As is the case now, farmers then had to supplement their income with other jobs. Bruhn chose government roadwork and soon he became a foreman and then a superintendent. In 1910, the family moved to Salmon Arm, where four years later he also began his career in politics when he was elected as an alderman in 1914. During the First World War, Bruhn supervised construction of the road along the east shoreline of Mara Lake that was built by German internees who were camped at Two Mile and at Hummingbird Creek. In the early 1900s, politics influenced government employment and thus when the Liberals replaced the Conservatives in 1916, Bruhn, along with other road superintendents, lost his job. He moved back to Sicamous in 1917 and started a forestry business. This venture helped shape the future of the Shuswap. Beginning with selling cedar poles, Bruhn’s

company grew rapidly into a diversified forest company that included poles, logs, railroad ties and lumber mills in Sicamous and Canoe. In 1918, Bruhn suffered a major setback. He was severely burned when an explosion destroyed his launch. He barely survived by diving into the water and, during the many months of hospitalization and surgery, his wife Anna managed to keep their company going. Bruhn lived the rest of his life with major scars that required special care, but also served as a sign of his courage and dynamism. When the redistribution of provincial electoral boundaries resulted in a new riding for Salmon Arm, Bruhn decided to run for the Conservatives. Even though the Liberals regained power in 1924, Salmon Arm elected Bruhn, who served his constituency well with his independent, nonpartisan approach that even included voting at times to support Liberal government bills. Despite his maverick approach, he was unanimously nominated again in 1928 and won that election with an overwhelming majority. Finally, the Conservative Party regained

power after 12 years in opposition and Bruhn was appointed the President of the Executive Council. When the depression hit, he advocated for using unemployment relief for public works projects including the construction of the Trans-Canada highway. In 1930, he was chosen to be the Minister of Public Works, which became exceedingly frustrating as much needed federal funding was difficult to access and public work camps were closed and replaced by direct relief. Bruhn’s timber business also suffered during the depression and, at times, he ran his company at a loss just to keep his workers and suppliers employed. He also frequently provided his own funds to assist families in need. Despite being a conservative, Bruhn advocated for public works and

minimum wages, all too radical for his colleagues. When he supported his constituents’ request for a coalition, it was rejected and he resigned to serve as an independent. As a backbencher, Bruhn had more time to focus on his businesses. He sold the Canoe mill in 1936 and purchased a home in Vancouver where he became busy with mining projects and took time off to travel. Just prior to the 1941 election, Bruhn returned to the Conservative party and, when they joined with the Liberals in a coalition government, he once again became the Minister of Public Works until he passed away suddenly from a stroke in 1942. The Shuswap region was fortunate to be served by a pioneer politician and businessman with so much integrity, energy and fairness as Rolf Bruhn.

A focus on liquefied natural gas is fuelling considerable political debate. The Liberal government throne speech Tuesday calls for tax revenue from LNG exports to support social programs and pay down B.C.’s debt. “Natural gas represents a significant opportunity for our province,” said George Abbott, Shuswap MLA. The proposed B.C. Prosperity Fund would be bolstered by about $100 million over 30 years. Abbott believes it’s essential that natural resources not only create jobs, but that they ensure British Columbians have access to critical services. “There is a strong connection between resource development and funding excellent health care and educa-

tion,” he said. Tom Birch, B.C. Conservative candidate, isn’t sure the throne speech adds up. “The opportunity from LNG is being grossly exaggerated to distract the voters from the economic mess our province is in,” he said. “There is no plan to see $1 trillion from LNG in the next 30 years. We would need to have at least four times as many people working to generate that kind of income. How can anyone believe in a vision that has been so poorly cobbled together?” Birch adds that there isn’t the infrastructure in place to realize benefits from LNG. “We need 15 plants to get anywhere near $1 trillion in production. Currently we have five plants planned, but most of them are in their planning infancy,” he said. Steve Gunner, NDP

candidate, says that while B.C. is planning an LNG industry, other countries have tapped into their resources and are meeting the needs of Asia. “They are predicating future management of the province on LNG but the realities of the industry are far in the future,” he said. “The whole throne speech was focused on a fantasy fund. They are unable to forecast LNG revenue in six months time. The logic leaves people shaking their heads.” Gunner is also concerned by what he believes was missing in the throne speech. “There was no mention of jobs training or the forest industry. The Liberals are out of ideas,” he said. This was Abbott’s final throne speech before he retires in May when the provincial election begins.

Matching growers with land Shuswap Food Action Co-op (SFAC) is promoting an initiative to connect landowners and prospective growers with no access to land. Here in the Shuswap, we have a huge local land inventory that is under utilized or fallow. This initiative creates a triple-win opportunity; participating land owners could qualify for agricultural tax status, young and new farmers could begin producing and more local products could be available. SFAC is planning to help local landowners and growers link into a national program called

Landshare Canada. The project, announced in 2012, is run by the Canadian Organic Growers, and works to create a database of landowners and landless growers. The purpose of the database is to facilitate connections between these two groups to bring together unproductive and under utilized land with those desiring to work land in an environmentally sustainable way. More information can be found at landsharecanada.com/. Rather than build a similar local site, SFAC members decided that using the already avail-

Columbia Shuswap Regional District

“The purpose of the database is... to bring together unproductive and underutilized land with those desiring to work land...” able national resource would be a wise use of time, and would also provide more opportunities for local par-

ticipants due to its wide audience. Growing a land/ farmer inventory is a first step in building a more vibrant local food economy. This could lead to opportunities such as year round storage and marketing for local producers. For more information, contact sfacoop@ gmail.com. People can be added to the co-op database to receive updates and meeting information. The Shuswap area is

fortunate to be home to such diverse natural resources and bountiful agricultural land. Remember a healthy local food economy relies on support from the local community, so this season search out your local food sources.

Allen puts title on the line Saturday

To meet him, one would never suspect Ryan Allen of being a cage fighter. His quick smile and quiet disposition seem out of place in a mixed martial arts world of broken noses and multiple tattoos. But make no mistake, Allen is a hardcore competitor through and through. Raised in Sicamous, Allen currently trains out of Gracie Barra Salmon Arm and Gracie Barra Vernon, and he will be stepping into the octagon for the sixth time on Feb. 16 in Penticton. With a record of 4-1, Allen will be putting his Battlefield Fight League Amateur Middleweight title on the line when he meets Jared Revel. Allen burst onto the provincial MMA scene in May 2011 when he won his first cage fight by technical knock-out in less than 20 seconds. Although he started fighting at 205 pounds, the journeyman carpenter has since dropped to the 185-pound division. “There were tougher fights at 185,” Allen said of the drop. “I would rather fight a tougher opponent so I dropped down a weight class. I think I’m better suited at that weight.” Allen, who holds a purple belt in Brazilian Jiujitsu, got into MMA because he wanted to be tested. “I just like to compete,” he said, adding he has always thought MMA was “cool,” so when he got into Jiu-jitsu, competing in MMA was “a natural step. You want to push yourself.” Under the coaching of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Black Belts Mario Deveault and Dave Rothwell, Allen has been working on his stand-up skills as well as his ground game. Deveault, who operates Gracie Barra clubs in Salmon Arm, Grindrod and Vernon, also has years of experience in striking martial arts. “I am very confident that for anyone in Battlefield (Fight League), Ryan will be a very tough fight,” said Deveault. “He’s very confident in his stand-up abilities, and so am I. He is comfortable in every area of the fight: on the ground, against the cage, standing up. That makes him a tough opponent. He is very well rounded.”

Rotary Update

Daybreak Rotary

What is Rotary? From Rotary.org Rotary is a volunteer organization with 33,000 clubs in over 200 countries and geographical areas. It initiates humanitarian projects that address today’s challenges affecting the world today, such as hunger, poverty and illiteracy. Rotary club members represent a cross-section of business and professional leaders around the world. These 1.2 million men and women donate their expertise, time and funds to support local and international projects that help people in need and promote understanding among cultures. Rotary International is the worldwide association of Rotary clubs united under a motto of Service Above Self. 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

Rotary Interact Club

communities at home and around the world. 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. Whatever your reason, joining Rotary can help you achieve these goals and so much more. Daybreak Rotary is a fun group of men and women who want to enhance our community locally and Internationally. If you want to find out more about us come join us for breakfast Thursday mornings at 7:00 am at the Sandbar Pub. Yes, we meet in the pub. No, we don’t drink alcohol that early. Coffee, tea and juice is as hard as it gets. Or check us out at sadaybreakrotary.com.

The Interact Club began at Salmon Arm Secondary School last year under the guidance of Daybreak Rotarian Gene Doray. Pamela Chudiak Daybreak Rotarian and school counsellor has continued to sponsor the club. There are 10 students in the Interact Club this year. If you are interested in joining the group they meet most Fridays - noon at the Sullivan campus. So far, some of the events the Interact Club have coordinated are: The Giving Tree - There were Christmas trees at both campuses whereby staff and students

donated scarves, toques and mittens which were given to the Women’s Shelter, they also collected a number of books for the Women’s Shelter. “Me To We” gave the Interact Club $700 to go shopping for presents for those in need. “Give Me A Break Saturdays” happens once a month. The Interact Club babysit 2-10 year olds from 10 am till noon for FREE. The students have also collected money to help eradicate Polio. Their spring project is they have plans to be painting footsteps between the two school campuses.

• Polio can cause paralysis and sometimes death. Because there is no cure for polio, the best protection is prevention. For as little as US$0.60 worth of vaccine, a child can be protected against this crippling disease for life.

Polio is: • A crippling and potentially fatal infectious disease, polio (poliomyelitis) still strikes children mainly

• It can cause paralysis within hours, and polio paralysis is almost always irreversible. • In the most severe cases,

Mine’s impact on water questioned

~ 515 Shuswap Ave., Chase ~ 250-679-3536

A well-known mining watchdog has spoken out about the proposed Ruddock Creek mine, located about 150 kilometres northeast of Kamloops – something not on his radar even a year and a half ago. Ramsey Hart, Canadian program co-ordinator for MiningWatch, a national non-profit organization based in Ontario, wrote in an Oct. 31, 2011 email, “I’m afraid I haven’t had a chance to get into the Ruddock Creek project at all. Sorry I couldn’t be more help.” Now, Hart has looked into the issue well enough that he gave three presentations to concerned Shuswap residents Monday, Feb. 11: one at the Neskonlith Indian Band Hall and two more at the Chase Community Hall. “We don’t get engaged in every project that comes along,” Hart said. “We’re selective and strategic about where we choose to spend our scarce resources.” The Ruddock Creek site is near the headwaters of Oliver Creek, a tributary that drains into the Adams River – a designated B.C. Heritage River and home to one of the largest salmon runs in the world. Pamela Richard, part of a group organizing the See Inspection on page 22

Firefighter goes the extra mile By Cavelle Layes

MARKET NEWS STAff

Scotch Creek resident Doug Kilback has received one of the top awards the Scotch Creek Volunteer Fire Department can present. Fire Chief Art Stoll says it was a difficult choice, as usual, to decide on just one person to receive the Firefighter of the Year award. “It is really hard to pick because they are all basically firefighters of the year,” says Stoll. “They really are.” Stoll describes the candidate for the prestigious award as some-

one who has excelled throughout the year and goes an extra step or two beyond what everyone else is doing. The officers in the department choose who they think should be the recipient, and from there the chief makes his decision. Stoll says he decided on Kilback for a number of reasons, including his eagerness to take control and initiative. “Last year he really grasped onto pumping operations and is now qualified to run all three of our pumpers without someone looking over his shoulder,”

explains Stoll. Kilback had not expected to receive the award, describing his shock when he heard his name. “It was a big surprise, it was wonderful,” he says. Kilback has been a volunteer firefighter for seven years, serving four of those in Anglemont before moving to Scotch Creek and joining the crew there. The local firefighter loves what he does, and describes how being part of the department is a great way for him to help out his community, get to know

Inspection of mines drop while concerns rise Continued from pg. 21 event, said potential impact to water quality is “first and foremost” among their concerns. “We’re having this open house to bring about awareness and some education around the current proposed mine at Ruddock Creek,” Richard said. Larry Morgan, North Shuswap Columbia Shuswap Regional District director, also attended the event and asked several questions about the status of the mine, environmental reviews and the timeline of the project. “As chair of the Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process, I thought it was important to be here,” Morgan said. SLIPP is a government-funded, multiple stakeholder effort to “sustain the health and

prosperity of Shuswap and Mara lakes.” A blockade and demonstration in the summer of 2011 was the result of some Neskonlith and Adams Lake band members who were concerned over the location of the mine and its environmental effects. “The proposed Ruddock Creek project, as well as, the other proposed and existing mining projects in Secwepemculecw unsurrendered, unceded Secwepemc territory, is a violation against our existing Secwepemc and natural laws, in that our water, sacred headwaters and birthing waters is at risk of being destroyed forever,” states the declaration, which was signed only “by Secwepemc.” The area above Adams Lake was identified as a potential mine site as early as 1960. Impe-

rial Metals Corporation now hopes the zinc and lead deposit will have an annual production rate of 700,000 tonnes of ore per year, overseen by their wholly owned subsidiary, Selkirk Metals Corp. A March 14, 2012 news release from Imperial Metals states the “combined indicated resource” contains 695.0 million pounds of zinc and 142.0 million pounds of lead. The estimated operating life of the mine is between 10 and 15 years. In February of 2009, the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office ordered that an environmental assessment certificate be issued for the project. Hart said there are many unknowns with the final design of the mine site, which likely won’t be fully known until the environmental assessment is submit-

ted. He also said a detailed analysis of the economics of the mine are part of what hasn’t been released to date. “It’s one thing to have a mineral deposit you’ve found in the side of a mountain, it’s another thing to be able to mine it at a profit,” Hart said. According to a 2009 annual report from the chief inspector of mines, metal mines have disturbed 23,406 hectares of land in B.C. and 10,692 hectares (45 per cent) of it has not been reclaimed. The report is the most current available and also states that “Disturbance has been increasing at a faster rate than reclamation.” In 2009, inspectors made a total of 1,047 site visits to mining operations, compared to 2,021 visits in 2001 when fewer mines existed. Hart said mandatory

and

closure plans are generally too conceptual for his liking.

Council agrees to stick with red By Cavelle Layes

MARKET NEWS STAff

They are unsure if it will be made out of wood or metal, but Chase council has decided, whatever the end result, it will be red. Council decided Tuesday, Feb. 12, that they cannot ignore what the public wants – and the public wants a red wharf. Since the demolition of the old wharf began last Tuesday, many residents have begun to talk about what the new wharf will look like. One of the ideas proposed was that the railing be made of wood and stained to match the bandshell. However, some residents are not in favour. Instead, they wish to stay true to their

roots and bring back the traditional red that was displayed so prominently on the old wharf. Council discussed the possibility of painting the wooden railing red, but the concern of maintenance continued to arise. Not only would it need to be recoated, but weather and birds could damage the paint. The idea for the wooden railing was initially made after some people expressed concern about the wharf having too much of a metal look to it. The other reason was that there had been a chance the Adam’s Lake Mill might donate wood that could be used for the project. However, the mill has since discovered it cannot cut the size of

wood required. If the village was to change the railing from wood to metal, it could be powder-coated red. This would require less maintenance, but the installation of the metal railing would require plan alterations and would likely cost more. Coun. Rod Crowe pointed out that if the village went that route, money would be saved in the long run based on

maintenance fees. It was also brought up that work may have already proceeded too far down the wooden path to turn back. Village staff explained to council that an order had already been placed for the wood required to make the railings and, depending on whether the company has begun to cut the wood already, it might be too late to

change the plan. While council did not come to a conclusion about what the railing should be made of, they did decide what colour it should be. Mayor Ron Anderson laughed, saying it is more than obvious what the locals want. Some have even written letters to council requesting that their beloved red make its way onto the new wharf.

Sauls-Kenoras got the first goal of the period for Chase, and their last shot of the game at 18:48 with an assist from Michael Sam. Levi Chwartacki continued to guard the net, keeping all but one goal at bay in the third. The fans erupted as the Broncos earned a 6-4 win. “We’re playing good hockey right now,” says coach Dan Stevens. “From our defence and forwards, the key is to keep firing on all cylinders and take

In presenting the award, Koch noted that last year’s winner was Jean Stelter, and it is always difficult to pick out one person in a sea of talented and dedicated volunteers. The attributes this year’s winner was noted for were many, and a standing ovation was received by the one and

The Kelowna boys tied it up just two minutes later, bringing the score to 2-2. Less than a minute later the Broncos pushed into the lead again with Rivas once again setting up the puck up for a great goal from Cole Zimmerman. The fans watched as the Warriors retaliated, landing another shot with less than five minutes left, bringing the score to 3-3. Austin Willier potted a goal with just 1:05 remaining, thanks to an assist by Sauls-Kenoras and John Bentley. Then, with just 17.3 seconds left, the crowd went wild as Hodges sank the puck and the

With just 3:28 left on the clock in the first period, Alex Sauls-Kenoras got the first goal of the game, with the assist going to Marvin Mathis. The crowd was on their feet cheering. At 16:52 in the second, Chase brought the score up to 2-0 with a beauty of a shot by Cody Hodges, with an assist from Jonas Rivas. The Warriors finally made it on the board at 9:19, and a battle began between the teams.

Jekyll and Hyde act returns to ice By Scott Koch contributor

On Wednesday, Feb. 6, the Chase Heat clashed with the Grizzlies in Revelstoke. At game’s end the Heat won 4-3 over the Grumpy Bears. It was Nic Fidanza with two, while Connor Venne and Marc

MacKenzie fired four past the opposition tender. Jake Mattes went the distance between the pipes stopping 36 of 39 shots. On Friday, Feb. 8, the first of two back-toback games versus the Kamloops Storm took place at Art Holding Memorial Arena. This

contest was a stormy night as the visitors walked away with a 9-1 victory. Shelby Kostyshen got the only goal for the locals. Mattes was chased after seven and replaced by Devon Pearson on a night where the goaltenders were left to fend for themselves.

The Jekyll and Hyde act the local side has been displaying this year, showed itself on Saturday, Feb. 9 in a game in Kamloops. The result in this one was a 5-0 victory against the same team as the evening before. Goals were scored by Austin Willier, Kurtis Johnson, Kaleb Car-

penter, Levi Chamberlain and Connor Venne. Pearson earned a well deserved shutout stopping 30 Storm shots. Many fans in attendance at the games were observed scratching their heads, wondering which team will show up next. The Heat finished off their weekend with

the annual banquet and awards night at the community hall. The team played the Sicamous Eagles on Wednesday after the Market News press time, before they finish off the season with two road games next weekend versus the Eagles and the North Okanagan Knights.

In Memoriam:

Louise Phillips

June 5, 1958 - February 18, 2011

When I am gone, release me, let me go. I have so many things to see and do. You must not tie yourself to me with tears. Be happy that we had so many beautiful years. I gave to you my love, you can only guess How much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you’ve shown me, But now it’s time I travel on, alone. So grieve a while for me if you must, Then let your grief be comforted by trust. It’s only for a while that we must part, So bless the memories within your hearts. I won’t be far away, for life goes on. So, if you need me, call and I will come. Though you can’t see or touch me, I’ll be near and if you listen with your hearts, You’ll hear all my love around you, Soft and clear; and then when you must Come this way alone, I’ll greet you with a Smile and say, “Welcome Home.”

GRAY, DOUGLAS MELVILLE It with sadness that the family of Doug Gray announces his passing on February 11, 2013 at the age of 77 years. Doug was born in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba on May 31, 1935 to parents Harold and Edna Gray. Doug had a long and successful career as a Meteorologist working in various posts across Canada; he spent the last 10 years working in the Yukon before retiring in 1990. Doug had a busy and active retirement having been involved with the Ham Radio Club, C.O.P (Citizens on Patrol), and the Hunting and Fishing Club. Doug was an avid pilot having owned and operated his own plane. Left to mourn his passing is his wife Shirley, his 5 children; Doreen McCulloch (Ken), Annemarie Gray (Jay), Steven Gray (Lynette), Deanna Owens (Kerry) and Daniel Gray, grandchildren; Shaun, Randy, Brendan, Ryan, Christopher, Christina, Brittney, and Luke. Survived by brothers: Larry (Sandra) Gray, Jack (Vicki) Gray and sister Sharon Skare. As per Doug’s wishes there will be no formal service, his urn will be laid to rest in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba at a later date. Donations in lieu of flowers can be sent to the Charity of one’s choice. Online Condolences can be sent through Doug’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Funeral arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral home, Salmon Arm ROBERT ‘BOB’ WALTER CROUSE It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father and best friend Robert ‘Bob’ Walter Crouse on February 7, 2013 at the age of 63. Bob passed away peacefully at home with his wife Jocelyn and son Ryley by his side. Bob fought his 2 year battle with cancer courageously never once losing his sense of self and pragmatism. Along with Jocelyn and Ryley, he leaves behind his step-son Joe (Marissa), step-daughter Amanda (Rob), brothers Gary, Michael (Pauline), and Donald, sisters Cathy (Mike) Wiseman and Pamela Downey, five stepgrandchildren – Ashton, Araya, Ty, Reece, and Gracie, numerous nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins . Bob was predeceased by his son Ryan (1995), his father Walter (1998) and his mother Rose (2009). Bob first came to the Shuswap over 30 years ago to become the voice of news, sports, and weather for CKXR Radio and the Big R network. He loved what he did, the people he met and worked with, and the many opportunities for outdoor recreation that living in the Shuswap afforded. Bob touched many lives during his time here and he will be forever missed by all those who knew him and loved him. There will be no service at Bob’s request. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to a children’s charity of one’s choice. Cremation is in the care of Bowers Funeral Service & Crematorium. “May God grant you always… A sunbeam to warm you, A moonbeam to charm you, A sheltering angel so nothing can harm you. Laughter to cheer you, Faithful friends near you, And whenever you pray, Heaven to hear you.” -Celtic Prayer-
